In Ontario, probate is required when a deceased person's assets are held in their sole name. This includes assets such as real estate, bank accounts, investments, and personal property. If the assets are jointly held with someone else, probate may not be required.
If an estate is under $150,000 probate can be applied for through the small estate court process, otherwise, an estate must be probated through the more extensive application for estate certificate process.
Apply for probate (Certificate of Appointment of Estate Trustee/Small Estate Certificate) give a person the authority to act as the estate trustee of an estate. confirm the authority of a person named as the estate trustee in the deceased's will. formally approve that the deceased's will is their valid last will.
