What does Public Trust charge to administer an estate?

Public Trust charges to complete estate administration, if we are named as executor. Our fees are based on the work we do, not the value of the estate. At the start, we’ll give your beneficiaries a clear plan outlining the steps we’ll take, and an estimate of the time and costs involved.
