Description:

Everything you need to probate an estate in Alberta:
Guide + Forms on CD-ROM

Probate an estate by yourself
No need to consult a lawyer
Easy, step-by-step instructions that walk you through every part of the process
Save thousands of dollars in legal fees

When you probate an estate, you prove by a legal process that a will has been validly made and executed. This may sound complicated, but it isn't. Laypersons are actually able to act as estate executors and probate estates without having to hire lawyers, and they save thousands of dollars in legal fees in the process.

By following the step-by-step instructions in the Alberta Probate Kit, you can successfully probate or administer a straightforward estate yourself. Even if you are not planning to do it yourself, the included book will serve as a useful guide in discussions with a lawyer.

This book demonstrates, in easy-to-understand terms, how anyone faced with the difficult situation of acting as executor can probate an estate and how anyone faced with acting as administrator can administer an estate.

This kit will help you apply for a Grant of Probate (if there is a will and you are the executor/executrix of the estate) or a Grant of Administration (if there is no will and you are the administrator of the estate).

Some of the topics explained in the Alberta Probate Kit:

What you should do after a death
The powers and duties of executors and administrators
What forms are necessary and how to complete them properly
How to assess the value of the deceased's assets
How to transfer the estate to the rightful beneficiaries
And more.

All the forms you need to probate or administer a straightforward estate in Alberta are included on the CD-ROM, so you can fill them out yourself. The CD includes examples and a link to any applicable updates, so you'll know your forms are current.

The CD-ROM includes:

Blank forms to fill out whether you are applying for probate, administration, or administration with will annexed
Filled-in samples so you can be sure you're filling out forms correctly
List of probate registries
Information on handling funeral arrangements, estate inventory, and getting beneficiaries to sign off

System Requirements for the CD-ROM:

Microsoft Windows, Apple OSX, GNU/Linux, or Sun Solaris
Connection to the Internet
Web browser
Microsoft Word or compatible software

All purchases of software are final. More information can be found in our Return Policy.

Please note: it is not possible to purchase only the forms, or only the guide; they are only sold in this complete kit.
