Yes, but the fee can be deducted from the estate.

Maintenance fees are due every month, even during probate. Question is who is responsible to pay, the estate or inheritor of asset. Traditionally the estate pays these bills during the administration, unless the Will contains language to the contrary. Not having seen the Will involved, this question of responsibility cannot be answered.
