Alaska court costs
Alaska Administrative Rule 9 (statewide court Fee Schedule) sets a $250.00 fee upon filing a trust or estate action other than the registration or deposit of a will or trust document. Depositing a will for safekeeping is $50.00 and registering a trust document is $50.00. The fee is a single statewide figure set by Supreme Court order, not a county-variable amount.

Alaska’s $250 figure is a single statutory charge, not a total assembled from parts. It is shown here with its own provision named, and with the neighbouring charges the Alaska schedule prices separately — the ones a filer is most likely to add to it by mistake, or to be quoted alongside it.
Added together, these come to $250 — the figure this page headlines. If any component changed in the source, the sum would no longer match, and the build withholds the total rather than publishing a number whose parts no longer add up.
These amounts appear in or beside the same Alaska schedule, so a reader can easily mistake one for part of the fee. Each is held out of the figure above for the specific reason given, which is the difference between an honest total and an inflated one.
The Alaska caveats are listed once, on the Alaska overview.
Other costs: probate cost lines.
