Probate Filing Fees
Specific fee amounts are not available for this county. Wisconsin sets the probate filing fee statewide by statute (Wis. Stat. 814.66(1)(a)): the Register in Probate fee is $20 when the net value of the property subject to administration is $10,000 or less, and 0.2 percent (two-tenths of one percent) of the net value when it is more than $10,000. The fee is computed on value less encumbrances, liens, and charges, and is generally paid when the inventory is filed. St. Croix County does not publish a separate county probate filing-fee schedule; the statewide statutory amount controls. Certified-copy and certification fees are set separately. Verify the current amount with the St. Croix County Register in Probate before relying on a figure.
