Making a will, applying for probate, administering an estate, and estate disputes. In Saskatchewan, wills and estates are handled by the Court of King's Bench, and The Intestate Succession Act, 2019 sets out who inherits when there is no will.
Wills and estates are handled by the Court of King's Bench; the application forms are filed with the court together with the fees. In Regina the Court of King's Bench is at 2425 Victoria Avenue, which also holds the province-wide Wills and Estates Registry.
The probate fee is $7 on every $1,000 of value passing through the estate, plus a $200 filing fee. On an estate of $300,000 the probate fee is $2,100. Legal fees are separate.
The Intestate Succession Act, 2019 decides who inherits. If there is a spouse and all the children are also the spouse's children, the spouse inherits the whole estate. If the person who died had a child who is not the spouse's, the spouse receives the first $200,000 and then half of the rest if there is one child, or one third if there is more than one; the children share what is left. Someone must apply to the court to administer the estate.
To practise law in Saskatchewan a lawyer must be a member of the Law Society of Saskatchewan. You can look up any lawyer in the Law Society's public directory, which shows where they practise and has a discipline column; the Law Society also publishes its discipline decisions. Each lawyer on these pages was checked in that directory before being listed, but people move firms, so check again before you hire. Concerns about a lawyer go to the Law Society.
