Annie, I suggest you talk to a probate attorney to ensure accuracy. Probate matters can get complicated.

Where do I get the probate forms to begin the process?
There is a house involved (we are in B.C. Canada) that is left to three adult children, but it was not jointly in their names, so it will be subject to the fees?? $14 per thousand?? (that’s a lot!!) plus probate fees?

Probate is a provincial matter so I don’t see why it would matter what city you file it.

I have a really close friend that needs help. This is the situation, in 2004 his parents remortgaged their home, (after it was paid off), and gave the $$, sum of $75000.00 to one of five (5) children, to build a garage on their own property. There was a signed and dated promissory note between the parents and child, stating the she will pay the mortgage payments, and in case of death of the parents that amount will be paid off. Since 2004, there has been missed payments and NSP cheques from the child for repaying of mortgage, and the parents covered this. Doing this, put them in financial distress with everyday living, eg. food, medication, gas for the car and utilities. My friend tried to help when he can will extra $$, and food. Now in 2011, both parents have passed and there is still a $48000.00 mortgage on the property and the child is refusing to make anymore payments to the mortgage. This is putting a lot of stress on the rest of the siblings, because there was no will done. My friend lives in Ontario, Canada; and he doesn’t have the $$ to pay the lawyers, let alone the funeral cost. What can he do to make her responsible for this $$?

@Nancy,

It all depends on the size of the estate, type of assets etc. I a property was held in joint tenancy probate is not needed for it. For life insurance, RRSP/RRIF if there are named beneficiaries probate is not needed. It also depends on the size of the estate, often for smaller estates the financial institution will not need a probated will.
