Probate Forms (NU)
There are a number of province-specific forms you may need when going through the probate process.
General NU Forms
The Nunavut Court of Justice in the Nunavut Justice Centre in Iqaluit handles probate and estate administration.
You can check with your local court for the forms they might prefer, and below you will find some of the more common NU forms:
- Application for Probate or Administration (Form 1) - Get the probate process started
- Affidavit on Application for Probate (Form 2) - Include with application if there is a will
- Affidavit of Execution of Will (Form 11) - Include with application if there is a will
- Affidavit on Application for Administration (Form 4) - Include with application if there is NOT a will
- Schedule of Assets and Liabilities (Form 8) - Include this list of heirs as Exhibit A with application
- Schedule of Beneficiaries (Form 5) - Include this inventory as Exhibit B with application
- Final Accounting - Consider using EstateExec Final Accounting Report
- Beneficiary Release (Form 32) - Avoid official passing of accounts if all heirs release you
See Nunavut Gazette Vol. 7 No. 4, Schedule B for a more complete list of forms that may be required in certain situations.
In addition, NU often accepts NT forms: you can also look in NT Estate Administration Rules Schedule A for other desired forms.
Small NU Estate Forms
Small estates sometimes need only 1 specialized form or affidavit: see Small NU Estates.
Resealing
If the estate needs to probate real estate in another province, you may be able to reseal the original grant of probate rather than start from scratch in the secondary province: see Ancillary Probate & Resealing.
