What Does Probate Include in Cases With or Without a Will?

Probate is a complex process that can vary significantly depending on whether a will is present or not. At Tiffen Law Office, we provide comprehensive probate services for both scenarios.

In cases where a will is not present, the probate process includes determining the rightful heirs according to Alberta's intestacy laws, valuing the estate, paying off any debts or taxes, and finally distributing the remaining assets among the legal heirs.

When a will is present, probate involves validating the will, appointing an executor if one hasn't been designated, cataloguing the deceased's assets, settling any outstanding debts or taxes, and distributing the remainder of the estate as per the terms of the will.

In both situations, our team at Tiffen Law Office is dedicated to guiding you through every step of the probate process, ensuring a smooth and organized distribution of assets.
