Losing a loved one is undoubtedly challenging. When they pass away holding substantial assets, or assets of a specific nature, dealing with their estate may become more complex. At Clear Title Law, we understand the complexities of obtaining a Grant of Probate in Alberta, and our dedicated team is here to guide you through the process with empathy, expertise, and a commitment to ensuring a smooth probate application and administration of the estate.
What is a Grant of Probate? Why to I hear about avoiding Probate?
A Grant of Probate is a legal document issued by the court, confirming the validity of a deceased person’s will and authorizing the executor to administer the estate according to the terms outlined in the will.
Although there seems to be a common fear of having to probate an estate, there is no single reason to explain this desire to avoid the task. Some suggested reasons for this fear relate to the fact that there is a cost to probate an estate in Alberta, or that it takes additional time to complete the administration of an estate. While there may be truth to each of these, the reasons to avoid probate, may be offset by some of the benefits and security provided by a Grant of Probate.
