Quick answer: the ordinary 5-6% realtor commission applies as usual. The personal representative's own pay is reasonable compensation, weighed against three named factors — commonly landing around 2%-4% of estate value in practice. See how this plays out for your own numbers in the Minnesota probate real estate sale calculator.
Three factors, named directly in the statute
Attorney fees run on a separate five-factor test
Under Minn. Stat. §525.515, attorney compensation is judged independently, and the court gives weight to any written fee agreement the decedent left. Most Minnesota probate attorneys charge $250-$500 per hour, with flat-fee packages available for simple, uncontested estates.
Bond: not automatic
Under §524.3-603, a bond generally isn't required without a court order — a default that keeps costs down for straightforward, uncontested estates, though an interested person can still demand one under a separate provision.
The filing fee, separate from either compensation
Minnesota charges a base district court filing fee of $310 (§357.021, subd. 2(1)) to open probate — a fixed cost distinct from whatever the PR or attorney ultimately earns.
A local probate attorney can review your estate — many offer a free consultation.
The $310 filing fee and the three-factor reasonableness standard apply the same way in Hennepin, Ramsey, Dakota, and Anoka County.
