Fremont County District Court Guide

Note: Opening a formal or informal probate costs $166.00 in every county: Idaho Rules of Civil Procedure Appendix "A" (Effective July 12, 2024), Magistrate Division category A, items "5. Petition for formal probate" and "6. Application for informal probate", Total 166.00. The legal basis is a stack of four statutes: $120 under Idaho Code 31-3201A(1) for a case assigned to the magistrate division, $26 under 1-2003(1), $10 under 73-213, and the $10 civil-case administrative surcharge in 31-3201(3). THE SUBDIVIDED AMOUNTS INSIDE 31-3201A(1) (the $23 district court fund share, the $80 court technology fund share, the $6 senior magistrate judges fund share) ARE REMITTANCE SPLITS, NOT FEES. Never publish $120 or $156 as the probate filing fee. Category D "Summary administration of small estates" totals $130.00; 1-2003 and 73-213 each exempt a proceeding under the summary administration procedure for small estates, but whether that row also covers the 15-3-1205 surviving-spouse petition is not stated in the schedule or the statutes. Idaho has no probate tax.
