On October 18, 2022, the Court Services Division of the Ministry of the Attorney General released its updated Estates Procedures Manual.
This comprehensive manual was created to provide guidance to estate court staff in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice who process probate Applications and other estate court Applications. The manual consists of 19 sections which deal with areas such as the probate process, Estate Administration Tax and document filing fees, contentious proceedings, and Applications to pass accounts, among other important areas.
The Ministry of the Attorney General is now providing automatic updates to those who email with such a request.
A copy of the manual can be requested by sending an email to csdmanual@ontario.ca
