Under new laws signed in May, court fees increase today (July 1, 2009) as follows:
- Probate filing fees increase $70. For Hennepin County, this means the filing fee is now $322. For Ramsey County and Anoka County (and many other counties), the filing fee is now $320.
- Plain copies increase from $5 to $8.
- Certified copies increase from $10 to $14.
- Depositing a will increases from $20 to $27.
Make sure you include correct fees for your probate filings or your documents may be returned.

Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty has signed S.F. No. 802, which increases court filing fees (357.021, subd 2). The filing fees that affect probate cases include the following:
- The filing fee increases from a base of $240 to a base of $310
- Certified copies increase from $10 per copy to $14.
- Other copies increase from $5 to $8.
- Motion fees increase from $50 to $100.
- Depositing a will increases from $20 to $27.
In a phone call today to Hennepin County Probate Court, I was told that the filing fees remain the same for now until further notice, but that a change probably wouldn’t be effective until July 1st. I’m assuming that since Hennepin Probate charges $252 (the standard filing fee plus a fee for the county law library fee) currently for a probate filing, the new fee will be $322.
I’ll post an update as I hear more information.
