Fees

Filing fees must be made payable to Gwinnett County Probate Court. Filings cannot be accepted for the record unless proper filing fees are included. Prior to filing your petition or application, please refer to the fee book for the accurate filing fee.

Please note that some petitions require service fees for parties who have not signed a consent or acknowledged service. Service and publication fees can be found by clicking here. The Court cannot accept international money orders.

Probate Court filing fees are governed by statute: O.C.G.A. § 15-23-7 (ADR fees), O.C.G.A. § 15-9-60.1 (Children’s Trust Fund fees), O.C.G.A. § 15-21A-6 (Indigent Defense fees), O.C.G.A. § 36-15-9 (Law Library fees), O.C.G.A. § 15-9-60(b) & 15-21A-6 (Probate Court fees)

If you cannot afford to pay filing fees, you may complete a Petition to Proceed in Forma Pauperis. Your Petition to Proceed in Forma Pauperis may be granted initially but the fees may be required after an estate is opened and money is available to the Conservator or Personal Representative.
