About this Gig
Need to file probate petition documents to unlock a deceased loved one's bank accounts, transfer real estate, or obtain court authority for estate administrationwithout paying a law firm 5% of the entire estate?
Probate courts routinely reject self-filed applications due to defective heir citations, missing bond waivers, or improperly drafted petitions. As a Canadian Lawyer with cross-border probate expertise across Canada, the UK, the USA, and all European countries, I prepare complete, court-compliant Probate Petition Documents for self-represented (Pro Se / Litigant in Person) executors and next-of-kin.
What I Prepare for Your Probate Court Filing:
- Petition for Probate / Grant of Administration: For estates with a Will (Letters Testamentary / Grant of Probate / Certificate of Estate Trustee) or without a Will (Intestate Letters of Administration).
- Executor Oath, Affidavit & Bond Waivers: Sworn fiduciary declarations and petitions to waive expensive probate surety bonds.
- Heir Waivers, Consents & Citations: Beneficiary Consent forms and Notices of Probate to fast-track uncontested appointment.
- Proposed Court Order & Letters: Ready for the Probate Judge or Registrar to sign.

FAQ
Which countries and courts can you prepare Probate Petitions for?
I prepare probate filings across all Canadian provinces (e.g., Ontario Certificate of Appointment, BC, Alberta), the UK Probate Registry (Grant of Probate PA1P / Letters of Administration PA1A), all 50 US State Probate and Surrogate's Courts, and European cross-border succession filings.
Can you prepare probate documents if the deceased died WITHOUT a Will?
Yes. When someone dies without a Will (Intestate), banks and land registries freeze all assets until the court appoints an Administrator. I prepare a Petition for Letters of Administration establishing your statutory priority right as surviving spouse, child, or next-of-kin.
What is the difference between Letters Testamentary and Letters of Admin?
Letters Testamentary (or a Grant of Probate) are issued by the court when the deceased left a valid Will naming you as Executor. Letters of Administration are issued when there is no Will (or the named Executor cannot serve). I prepare the complete court packet for either scenario.
Why do I need the Heir Waivers and Bond Waivers in the Premium package?
Without signed Waivers of Citation and Consents from the other beneficiaries, the court requires formal process service and hearing delays—and may force you to buy an expensive Probate Surety Bond. My Premium package includes all Heir Consents and Bond Waivers to save you time and money.
What if the deceased owned property in more than one country or state?
Because my expertise spans Canada, the UK, the USA, and all European countries, I regularly prepare Ancillary Probate Petitions, Resealing of Foreign Grants of Probate, and European Certificate of Succession / cross-border affidavits when an estate holds assets in multiple jurisdictions.
