Estates Exceeding the Small Estate Threshold For estates valued above $50,000, the standard probate process applies. The probate fees (officially known as the Estate Administration Tax) are calculated based on the total value of the estate's assets.
Probate is generally not necessary when the estate is small, all assets are jointly owned with right of survivorship, or assets pass directly to named beneficiaries outside of the estate. Note: If you solely-own any real estate, your estate is likely required to go through probate.
Estate accounts are a record of values and transactions relevant to the estate administration, showing all movements of funds from date of death to final distribution.
Designation of a beneficiary under life insurance policies, R.R.S.P.s, R.R.I.F.s and pensions will allow payment directly to the beneficiary without probate fees. Property transferred to a trust ceases to belong to the transferor and therefore would not be included in the value of their estate.
The only asset that absolutely requires probate is an interest in land (this includes mineral rights) registered in the name of the deceased alone. The property cannot be transferred from the name of the deceased without Letters Probate or Letters of Administration regardless of the value of the property.
Wills Registry Creating your will is only the first step – it then needs to be registered. This final step is important, because if your executor cannot locate your will, it is assumed to be revoked.
In order for a will to be valid, the person making the will must be over 18. The will must be in writing and signed by the person making the will or by someone else on the testator's behalf at the testator's request. The signature of the testator must be witnessed by two people who also sign the will.
Once the Grant of Probate has been issued, the executor has to keep accounts and have these ready to show beneficiaries if they ask for them.
If the executor/administrator does not respond to your request, you may contact Wills and Estates at the Court of King's Bench in Regina at 306-787-5223 and request a copy of the original will, a list of the beneficiaries or other persons who may have an interest in the estate and a list of the assets of the deceased.
Yes, the executor can sell the home without the approval of the beneficiaries. There is no requirement for beneficiaries to approve how assets are administered. While the executor can make the final decision on the home sale, notice of the sale will be sent to all the beneficiaries so they know about it.
