Probate Filing Fees
Specific fee amounts are not available for this county. Wisconsin charges a single statewide register-in-probate filing fee under Wis. Stat. § 814.66(1)(a): $20 if the net value of property subject to administration is $10,000 or less, otherwise 0.2 percent (0.002) of the net value, computed when the inventory is filed. There is no separate probate tax in Wisconsin. Eau Claire County applies this same statewide rate; only the courthouse where the fee is paid differs. Additional statutory register-in-probate fees apply for specific filings (e.g., $10 will safekeeping deposit, $3 claim against estate). Verify any local handling charges with the Eau Claire County Register in Probate.
