SUMMER PROMOTION: Flat Fee for Uncontested Probate Applications

At Pax Law Corporation, we understand that dealing with a loved one’s estate can be a challenging and emotional process. We aim to ease the burden by offering transparent, reliable, and affordable legal support for probate applications.

From June 30 to August 15, 2025, we are offering a discounted rate by way of a flat legal fee of $2,000 (not including taxes and disbursement) for uncontested probate application services.

What Is an Uncontested Probate Application?

A probate application is the legal process that verifies a Will is real or valid under B.C. laws and a necessary step to obtain a court document also known as a ‘grant’ that says an individual have been legally proven to be the executor named in the Will.

An application is considered uncontested (or “non-contentious”) if:

• There is a valid Will, properly signed and witnessed,
• The named executor is available and willing to apply for probate,
• No one is disputing the Will’s validity, the appointment of the executor, or the entitlement of the beneficiaries,
• All required parties (beneficiaries, intestate heirs, etc.) are properly notified and have no objections.

Uncontested probate is typically a paper-based application to the Supreme Court of British Columbia and does not involve a court hearing.
