At Varsity Law Calgary we simplify estate administration with a flat fee of $2,300 + GST to obtain a Grant of Probate or Grant of Administration for Alberta Estates. There is no percentage fees and no hidden fees.
Our flat fee includes obtaining the grant and providing executor guidance throughout the process. Because our team includes experienced lawyers & CPAs, we can also provide CPA support for estate tax matters.
Please note: Disbursements are billed separately. For a typical estate the only disbursement is the court filing fee.
-
Included in our flat fee:
Initial review of the Will (if any)
Review of the estate assets and debts
Preparing and filing
Required service on beneficiaries
Handling typical court follow-ups
Guidance during and after the Grant. After the Grant we continue to provide reasonable post-grant guidance at no additional legal fee.
Common Extras (Quoted Before We Proceed): Missing/Problematic Will issues, Disputes/contested matters, urgent court applications, Significant cross-border/foreign document work, Complex asset issues (corporations, multiple properties, etc.)
-
A Grant of Probate confirms a will’s validity and gives the executor legal authority to manage and distribute an estate. A Grant of Administration applies when there is no will, giving someone the authority to manage and distribute the estate.
Both are essential for transferring estate assets to beneficiaries and are required by institutions such as banks, land titles offices, and other asset holders to confirm the legal authority to act.
