This bill pertains to the probate court fees in Escambia County, Alabama, and establishes a new fee structure that the Judge of Probate will implement. The bill specifies a range of fees for various services, including $105 for the probate of a will and administration, $65 for name changes and legitimation, $145 for guardianship and conservatorship, and $125 for adoption, among others. The bill also outlines additional fees for filing wills, indexing, notary recording, UCC instruments, and plat recording. Notably, the bill states that, aside from the newly established fees, the judge will continue to charge fees as prescribed by general law.

The bill introduces new legal language that specifies these fees and replaces the existing fee structure with the newly defined amounts. It does not indicate any deletions from current law but rather supplements the existing framework with specific fees for probate services. The act is set to take effect on October 1, 2025.
