Grant of Resealed Probate/Administration

If the deceased person lived in one province, but also owned property in another province, the Executor/Personal Representative will oftentimes need to apply for a Grant of Probate or Grant of Administration (or corresponding Court Order) in the place where the deceased person lived and then apply for a Grant of Resealed Probate/Administration (or corresponding Court Order) in the other province / state where the property is situated.

A Grant of Resealed Probate/Administration allows the Executor/Personal Representative to only deal with the property situated in provinces / states other than the province / state of the decedent’s last residence. For example, a Grant of Resealed Probate/Administration might be necessary where the deceased person lived in Ontario but also owned land in Alberta, such that the Executor would attain in Ontario a Certificate of Appointment of Estate Trustee (the equivalent of an Alberta Grant) and than proceed to attain in Alberta a Grant of Resealed Probate/Administration.
