What is Involved in the Probate Application Process in Toronto?

Probate is the legal process of obtaining a Certificate of Appointment of Estate Trustee, which confirms who has authority to manage an estate. In most situations, probate is required to:

  • Access bank and investment accounts
  • Transfer or sell real estate such as a home or cottage
  • Deal with financial institutions and third parties

Most probate applications are usually prepared and filed within 30 days of being retained. While our services can be completed entirely virtually, we also maintain a staffed Toronto law office to support clients who prefer in-person meetings or who are administering estates located in the Greater Toronto Area.

While some estates appear straightforward, obtaining probate can be more complex than expected. Errors or omissions can delay the process or expose executors to personal liability. We recommend that most probate applications in Toronto be completed by an estate law firm well-versed in the probate process to avoid getting denied the certificate.
