Certificate of Appointment of Estate Trustee Without a Will Application Checklist (ON)

Summary

This checklist provides a comprehensive series of control questions aimed at catching common missed or incorrect items flagged by Estate Registrars in an Application for a Certificate of Appointment of Estate Trustee Without a Will. The questions have been organized so they fall in the same order as on Form 74A. References to the Notice of Application were recently removed in this checklist as the Notice of Application is no longer required under the current Rules of Civil Procedure, R.R.O. 1990, Reg. 194 ("Rules"). This checklist is essential in avoiding having the Application be returned as incomplete or incorrect when submitting the Application to the Court in order to obtain probate of an intestate estate. In addition to the control questions, it provides more detailed explanations that will further ensure your application is accepted by the Estates Registrar.
