The applicant sought a small estate certificate for the deceased, who died intestate with an estate valued below the prescribed threshold.
The court confirmed the estate met the "small estate" definition under the Estates Act and O.Reg.110/21.
The application satisfied the requirements of Rule 74.1 of the Rules of Civil Procedure, and no estate administration bond was required as the applicant resided in Ontario and no beneficiaries were minors or incapable.
The certificate was issued to the applicant.
