How does probate proceed for British Columbia estates under Supreme Court rules?
BC-specific forms, affidavits of assets and liabilities, and fee schedules apply; some property may pass outside probate if survivorship documentation is clear.
Executors locate the most recent original will, identify BC-situated property, and prepare affidavits describing beneficiaries and values as required by the Supreme Court Civil Rules for probate matters.
Some assets—such as certain jointly held property—may pass outside the estate if documentation supports survivorship.
Verify current filing fees and electronic filing options with official court resources before submitting.
