A Grant of Probate is a document signed by a Justice of the Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta, that confirms the validity of a deceased’s last Will and affirms the Personal Representative’s authority to distribute the deceased’s assets. The grant allows the Personal Representative to legally fulfill their duties as the Administrator of the estate. It may also be possible to apply for a Limited Grant of Probate in order to deal with one part of the estate before distributing the rest. This is typically used to allow a Personal Representative to sell real estate owned by the deceased, such as a family home, quickly and easily without having to wait for the entire probate process to finish.
