Question: Mr. Chen, a resident of Quebec, passes away with an estate valued at $750,000. Under Quebec law, what are the approximate 'probate' fees (or judicial fees) for validating his will?

Answer options: ✅ Approximately $750

• Approximately $1,800
• Approximately $15,000
• Approximately $10,000

Correct answer: Approximately $750

Explanation: In Quebec, the process of 'probate' is different and typically involves 'verification of the will'. Fees for verifying a will by a notary or in Superior Court are usually fixed and much lower than in other provinces, often around $500 - $1000 for standard wills, regardless of estate size. For a non-notarial will, there are court fees but they are not a percentage of the estate value as in common law provinces, thus $750 is plausible.
