The notary acts on behalf of the probate court. The remuneration is governed by the <strong>Court Commissioner Tariff Act (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ris.bka.gv.at\/GeltendeFassung.wxe?Abfrage=Bundesnormen&amp;Gesetzesnummer=10002206\">GKTG<\/a>)<\/strong> and is determined by the court upon the notary&#8217;s application. The assessment basis is decisive, which is based on the determined value of the object. In the case of estates, this generally refers to the value of the assets, whereby debts are generally not deducted for fee assessment purposes. In addition, court fees, cash expenses, and value-added tax must be reimbursed.      <\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-3019fe8e alignfull uagb-is-root-container\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-32585033\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Court Commissioner&#8217;s fees are the legally regulated costs for the notary&#8217;s activities in probate proceedings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-45819ab6\"><picture>\r\n\t\t<source srcset=\"https:\/\/harlander-partner.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/Gebuehren-des-Gerichtskommisaers-352x198.webp\" >\r\n\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"mr-picture-small\" src=\"https:\/\/harlander-partner.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/Gebuehren-des-Gerichtskommisaers.webp\" alt=\"Court Commissioner's Fees explained simply: Costs in probate proceedings, tiered structure, flat fee, and surcharges.\" >\r\n\t<\/picture>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-rechtliche-grundlage-und-grundprinzip\">Legal Basis and Fundamental Principle<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The assessment follows a scale linked to the pure value of the estate. The principle is simple. As the value increases, the basic fee also increases incrementally. And if there is additional extraordinary difficulty or the proceedings are of considerable scope, a surcharge may be imposed <strong>amounting to up to double the fee.<\/strong> This system creates predictability, but it requires accurate valuation and correct allocation to the appropriate tariff system.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All parties directly involved in the proceedings are jointly obligated to pay the fee. This means that the court can generally demand payment from any party involved. Internally, compensation may occur later, but legally the payment obligation initially exists jointly and severally.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Assessment Basis for Fees<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fees are linked to the value of the estate.

Compulsory portion rights, legacies, and estate administration costs are not deductible.<br\/>If no estate hearing takes place, for example because there are no or only minimal assets, the flat-rate fee does not apply. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-weitere-kosten\">Additional Costs<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to the tariff-based fee, further costs may be incurred. These include in particular court fees, postage fees, costs of necessary investigations, as well as travel expenses, additional meal costs, accommodation costs, and other cash expenses. Value-added tax must also be reimbursed. These items are not covered by the basic fee but are added separately.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For individual official acts in estate proceedings, separate fees may arise. For a transfer protocol, an official certificate, or a European Certificate of Succession, an additional fee of 30 percent of the fee that would apply for the death record is charged in each case. For other official acts such as valuations, the recording of a declaration of inheritance, or the preparation of an asset declaration, the fee is generally 30 percent of the fee for conducting the estate proceedings. If an inventory is prepared alone, the fee is 40 percent; valuations associated with the inventory are not charged additionally.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, the notary may claim remuneration under the Notary Tariff Act for certain activities, such as the management of money, securities, or valuables. For certain land register entries, remuneration under the Lawyers&#8217; Tariff Act may also be incurred if such applications are required in the proceedings. These claims exist in addition to the fees under the Court Commissioner Tariff Act.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-praktische-hinweise-fur-die-kostenplanung\">Practical Advice for Cost Planning<\/h2>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Clarify valuation early<\/strong>: A comprehensible valuation prevents later disputes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Apply the scale correctly<\/strong>: Non-agricultural and agricultural property differ only in the amount of the fees.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Review surcharges<\/strong>: A surcharge must be justified and cannot be levied as a flat rate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Observe cap for multiple official acts<\/strong>: If multiple official acts are charged in the same estate proceedings, the sum of the fees may generally not exceed the fee for conducting the entire proceedings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Factor in the court flat fee<\/strong>: This is incurred in addition to the Court Commissioner&#8217;s fees, provided that probate proceedings take place.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ihre-vorteile-mit-anwaltlicher-unterstutzung\">Your Benefits with Legal Assistance<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fee schedule for Court Commissioners is difficult for laypersons to comprehend.
