<p class="MsoNormal">I reviewed cost records for an old case of ours where we petitioned for the safe deposit to be opened to get the original will. The filing fee was the regular probate filing fee, but there was no need for an additional fee to petition for
probate once we had the original will.<o:p></o:p></p>
