York, 2016 ONCA 191<\/em><span>\u00a0<\/span>clarified that if an applicant points to evidence calling into question the validity of a testamentary instrument, the court will order that the instrument be proven in solemn form.

In this case, the initial approval of a probate application was delayed due to documentary deficiencies (para 29) and ongoing requests for information from registry staff (para 33).
