Probate in Alberta
Probate is a process that verifies a will is real under Alberta laws. Whether a will needs to be probated or not depends on the agencies and financial institutions that hold assets within an estate – they may require that a will be probated before the assets are distributed or accessed by anyone. Probate is the procedure for:
- Formal approval of the will by the Court as the valid last will of the deceased; and
- Appointment of the person who will act as the executor of the estate
Probate is the Court process that gives the executor the authority to act on behalf of the deceased.
Generally, you have to probate a will in Alberta if:
- There is no surviving spouse as a joint tenant.
- The assets, notably real estate, are in the name of the deceased only.
- There is a substantial amount of money in bank accounts and other investments.
Probate Process
When someone dies and leaves an inheritance, beneficiaries must go through Alberta probate by the Superior Court or by notary. The probate process in Alberta can be complicated and can take months or even years to complete. First probate forms must be completed, then the appropriate application is made:
- If there is a valid will the executor will apply for a Grant of Probate.
- If there is no will, the application will be for a Grant of Administration.
If the deceased didn’t live in Alberta at the time of death, the Grant of Probate isn’t done in Alberta. However, if the deceased owned property or other assets in Alberta, the grant will have to be re-sealed in Alberta.
