Surrogate Court forms in Alberta are given ‘codes’ to indicate their use or purpose to the reader. There are 3 main codes for Surrogate Forms in Alberta:
1. NC Forms
‘NC’ stands for 'non-contested'. In other words, these forms are used for Estate applications in cases when the Estate hasn’t been challenged.
2. C Forms
‘C’ stands for 'contested'. ‘C Forms’ are typically used when an Estate is challenged, becomes contested, or there’s some aspect of the Estate Administration process that requires clarification from the Court.
3. ACC Forms
‘ACC’ is short for ‘accounting’. ‘ACC Forms’ deal with various accounting aspects of the Estate administration process. One of the most important responsibilities of an Executor is keeping proper and formal accounts of all Estate assets. If you’re an Executor, you must seek the professional advice of a probate lawyer and a tax accountant to help you ensure that you meet your accounting obligations to the Estate.
