Description:

Everything you need to probate an estate: Guide + Forms + 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 hundreds of dollars in legal fees

Most estates need to be probated to enable the instructions in the will to be carried out. While many people believe only a lawyer can do this, that is not necessarily true.

The Ontario Probate Kit is designed for people with small or moderate estates to handle after the death of a family member or friend. When you probate an estate, you prove by a legal process that a will has been validly made and that you are entitled to distribute the assets. This may sound complicated, but it isn't.

With this complete kit, you can do it yourself! There's no need to consult a lawyer, so you can save thousands of dollars in legal fees.

And if you're the executor, the cost of this kit can be charged to the estate you are probating.

The kit contains the following:
