Probate Law
When a loved one passes away, there are numerous legal issues that need to be settled when it comes to estate settlements and the probate process. Probate is the formal approval of a will by the Court as the valid last will of a deceased individual. This process also includes the designation of the person who will act as the executor or trustee of the estate.
This process can be extremely overwhelming, especially when families are grieving. At Dabros Law, we understand that this can be a difficult time. Our goal is to connect you with probate lawyers in Ottawa that can help you understand your responsibilities and make sure that this process goes as smoothly as possible.
Probate Application
Probate (also known as Seeking Certificate of Estate Trustee) is a small part of estate administration. Probate is a procedure to ask the court to give a person the authority to act as the trustee, confirm the authority of the trustee, and formally approve the last valid will.
Probate services are still necessary whether there’s a will or not. At Dabros Law, we can help with probate services with or without a will. If you are a designated trustee, it is very common for individuals to seek professional advice. In fact, it is often encouraged in order to properly fulfill your duties. Reach out to the experts at Dabros Law today. Our probate lawyers in Ottawa can help with the probate process and provide advice and help regarding estate distribution and the next steps once wills and trustees are confirmed.

Small Estate Certifications
If you are an estate trustee, and the estate you are responsible for does not exceed a value of $150,000, you will be able to pursue a small estate certificate. Obtaining this certificate is a more simplified procedure for estates and can significantly reduce the burden you may have as a trustee. Although this is a simplified process, there are still many different steps involved. Once the certificate is granted, it will give you authority to manage estate assets listed on the certificate.
Here at Dabros Law, our probate lawyers in Ottawa can help with small estate certifications. Contact our team of experts today and get your small estate certification as soon as possible.
