We help executors and administrators assess whether applying for a grant of probate or administration is required in their particular circumstances.

Applying for a grant of probate or administration

We guide clients through the process of applying for a grant of probate or administration. We prepare and file the necessary court documents and coordinate with the court registry to pay probate fees and obtain the grant.

Made my property purchase simple as an out of towner. Appreciated!
What a great experience with Calliope Law. We live out of province and we have closed two properties with Jane. She has made the process seamless and I would recommend her and the firm for whatever legal services you need. She made it easy and the fees are very reasonable. When we buy another property in BC - Jane will be our first call.
