    Whenever it shall appear that the estate, real and personal, of any testator, intestate, minor or ward, is less than one hundred dollars ($100.00),  no fees shall be charged upon actions for probate of a will, granting  administration or guardianship up to and including the letters issued and  copies of such letters as well as the fees of filing and recording and with  respect to an inventory, and whenever it shall appear that such estate does not  exceed two hundred dollars ($200.00) the fees shall be one-half of those  allowed by law;  but if it shall afterwards appear in any case that the value  of the estate, real and personal, exceeds or exceeded two hundred dollars  ($200.00), then such estate shall be liable for and pay the balance of the fees  that would have been collected had no deduction been made under the provisions  of this section.
