Probate Court Costs
$225 is the Probate Court cost for Hamilton County, Ohio, for full administration of a decedent's estate. Full administration means that the probate assets are in excess of $35,000. Costs are less for a "relief from administration," which is a streamlined process for small estates under $35,000.

Even if Bill Gates died as a Hamilton County resident with $50 billion in probate assets, the court cost would still be just $225.
