Maryland probate fees calculator for Python
This is a simple Python script that calcuates the probate fees for a probate estate opened in the State of Maryland.
The program asks the user to enter the value of a decedent's gross estate and then calculates two items:
- The probate fee owed by the estate to the Register of Wills; and
- The maximum personal representative's commission and/or attorney's fees that the estate may pay.
Please note, the maximum PR/attorney's fees only apply when the decedent's will does not provide for a larger amount.
The program asks you to input the value of the decedent's gross estate without any currency ($) or commas (,).
This program does not offer legal advice. If you have any questions regarding the administration of a Maryland estate, you should speak with a qualified probate attorney.
