Probate is the process that confirms executor authority to distribute assets of a deceased’s estate. When someone is appointed a trustee or executor of an estate they may have to apply to the court for a certificate giving them the legal approval to deal with the assets of the estate. The court that legally confirms the authority of executors by issuing a certificate known in Ontario as a “Certificate of Appointment of Estate Trustee With (or Without) a Will”.
