Description:

Everything you need to probate an estate in British Columbia:
Guide + Forms on CD-ROM

Probate an estate by yourself
No need to consult a lawyer
Easy, step-by-step instructions that walk you through every part of the process
Save hundreds of dollars in legal fees

Probate is to prove by legal process that a will has been validly made and executed. This may sound complicated, but laypersons are actually able to act as estate executors and probate estates without having to hire lawyers, and they save hundreds of dollars in legal fees in the process.

If you are not the executor of the estate but instead an administrator (where you were not appointed to probate the estate or there is no will), you are still able to apply for Letters of Administration or Letters of Administration with Will Annexed.

The British Columbia Probate Kit is designed for people with small or moderate estates to handle after the death of a family member or friend, whether acting as executor or administrator. From handling funeral arrangements, to filing forms at the courthouse, to getting the final sign-off from beneficiaries, this kit takes you step-by-step through the process of probate or administration in BC.

All the forms you need to probate or administer a straightforward estate in British Columbia are included on the CD-ROM, so you can fill them out yourself. The CD includes examples and a link to any applicable updates, so you'll know your forms are current.

The CD-ROM includes:

Blank forms to fill out whether you are applying for probate, administration, or administration with will annexed
Filled-in samples so you can be sure you're filling out forms correctly
List of probate registries
Information on handling funeral arrangements, estate inventory, and getting beneficiaries to sign off
Instructions for applications and filing

System Requirements for the CD-ROM:

Microsoft Windows, Apple OSX, GNU/Linux, or Sun Solaris
Connection to the Internet
Web browser
Microsoft Word or compatible software

Please note: it is not possible to purchase only the forms, or only the guide; they are only sold in this complete kit.
