Monika Kumar has extensive experience guiding executors and families through every stage of estate administration — from the initial probate application through to the final distribution to beneficiaries.
Probate is the court-supervised process of confirming that a will is valid and appointing an estate trustee (executor) to administer the estate. In Ontario, the document issued is called a Certificate of Appointment of Estate Trustee.
Probate may be required depending on the type of assets in the estate and the requirements of financial institutions. For example, many banks and investment firms require probate before releasing funds. Mechi Law can assess your specific situation and advise whether probate is necessary.
Being named an executor is an honour but also a significant responsibility. Mechi Law provides practical guidance to executors at every step — from applying for probate, collecting and valuing assets, paying debts, to distributing the estate to beneficiaries.
