How do I file probate in Maine?

To start the probate process, you need to file an Application for Probate in the probate court in the county where the decedent lived. In Maine, each county has its own probate court. If there is a Will, it needs to be submitted to the probate court. The probate judge will decide whether or not the Will is valid.

How much does an estate have to be worth to go to probate in Maine?

If the probate estate has a total value (value of probate assets minus any liens and encumbrances) of $51,100 or less (for deaths in 2025) and does not include any real property, then probate is not necessary.

What assets are exempt from probate in Maine?

For filing a will for no probate, the fee is $15. For filing a will to be probated and without an appointment, the fee is $20. [PL 2021, c. 250, 1 (AMD).]

How long does the probate process take in Maine?

Probate can take anything from a few months to a few years, depending on the complexity of the estate. First, Uncle must petition a county Probate Court to be formally appointed. That can take a few weeks. Once the appointment is made, Incle must prepare an inventory of all Grandfathers assets and debts.

Do you need a lawyer to file probate in Maine?

Normally, it does not take long or cost a lot to probate a Will in Maine. Many people go through this process without an attorney. The probate court simply makes sure everything is in order and the Will is followed.
