Dealing with a Loved One’s Estate

Losing a loved one can be overwhelming – not only are you dealing with grief, but oftentimes you must manage the deceased’s property and financial matters. At Kurie Moore Law Group, our experienced estate lawyers provide guidance to help you with any issues regarding an estate.

Our estate planning team at Kurie Moore Law Group will assist you at every step of the process to ensure your estate plan fully captures your wishes and intentions. Scott D. Kurie, Founding Partner

Grant of Probate

Even if a person has a valid Will at the time of their death in Alberta, it is often necessary to apply to the Court for a Grant of Probate. If successful, the Court grants the authority to the Personal Representative named in the Will to manage the administration of the deceased’s Estate. A Grant of Probate is
required if the deceased owned real property (eg. Land) in Alberta and is typically required if there are cash or investments over a few thousand dollars in the Estate. At our law firm, we complete the paperwork and correspondence with the Court for Probate so that you don’t have to.

Grant of Administration

If a person dies without a valid Will in Alberta and there is real property or other significant assets in the Estate, the law requires that someone close to the deceased apply for a Grant of Administration. This process can be complicated and time consuming. Our estate lawyers can make the Court application on your behalf and provide advice regarding how to efficiently proceed through the process.

Estate Administration

Once the Personal Representative has the authority to administer the deceased’s Estate, our experienced lawyers can help with all aspects of administration of the Estate, including:

  • Correspondence with beneficiaries;
  • Selling valuable Estate assets;
  • Avenues for disposing of unwanted assets;
  • Appropriate fees for the Personal Representative; and
  • Passing of accounts.
