You can probate an estate yourself! When you probate an estate, you prove by a legal process that a will has been validly made and executed. This may sound complicated, but it isn’t. It is actually possible for you, the layperson, to probate an estate — if it is not subject to taxes or other technical complications. This bundle contains both the Probate Guide for Ontario book, and the Probate Forms for Ontario forms and CD-ROM. You can save thousands of dollars in legal fees. This is no exaggeration, as a lawyer will normally charge two percent of the gross value of an estate for probate fees. This means that, for a $100, 000 estate, you would be charged a fee of around $2, 000. - 20120208 | Probate Kit for Ontario by David I. Botnick, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
