Where the gross value of all real and personal property situated in British Columbia subject to probate does not exceed $25,000, there is no probate fee. Where the gross value exceeds $25,000, probate fees are:

for the portion of the gross value over $25,000 up to $50,000	$6 per $1,000 or portion (0.6%)
for the portion of the gross value over $50,000	$14 per $1,000 or portion (1.4%)

There is also an administration (filing) fee of $200 for estates with a gross value exceeding $25,000. See BC Supreme Court Civil Rules Appendix C - Fees, Schedule 4 section 3(2) Item 1.
