Note: Minnesota's first-paper filing fee for an estate (informal application or formal petition), trust, guardianship, or conservatorship is a statewide base fee plus a county law library fee. In Kandiyohi County the total first-paper filing fee is $325 (base $310 + $15 county law library fee), per the Minnesota Judicial Branch District Court Fees schedule (Minn. Stat. 357.021 subd. 2). Summary administration under Minn. Stat. 524.3-1203 is a court filing and carries the same first-paper fee; collection of personal property by affidavit under Minn. Stat. 524.3-1201 (estates of $75,000 or less) is presented directly to asset holders and has no court filing fee. Depositing a will for safekeeping costs $27 and certified copies are $14 each (Minn. Stat. 357.021 subd. 2). Verify the current county total before filing.
