ponowne zatwierdzenie testamentu Explanation: Wills issued in another country of province have to be probated again in British Columbia. cccccccccc If the original grant of probate in another Canadian province, the United Kingdom, and certain other members of the British Commonwealth listed in this Regulation, then the grant may be “resealed” in British Columbia pursuant to the Probate Recognition Act. The list does not by any means include all Commonwealth provinces and countries. For example, only two Australian provinces are included. Hong Kong is included in the regulation, but it may be that because Hong Kong is no longer a British possession, the Probate Recognition Act does no apply. To reseal the grant in British Columbia, the executor makes an application in the Supreme Court of British Columbia. The procedures are set out in Rules 21-5 (61)-(68) of the Supreme Court Civil Rules. The application includes an affidavit of executor and an affidavit of notice, which are very similar to the affidavits filed in support of a probate application (see my post on probate applications). The main difference is that instead of filing the original will, the executor files a copy of the grant of probate certified by the court in the province or country where the probate was granted. http://rulelaw.blogspot.com/2009/01/resealing-probate-in-bri... cccccccccccccccccc Division 5 — Foreign Personal Representatives, Resealing Foreign Grant and Ancillary Grant Resealing foreign grant and ancillary grants 138 (1) On application by a foreign personal representative, the court may reseal a foreign grant made in another province or in a territory of Canada or in another prescribed jurisdiction. (2) A foreign personal representative who applies for the resealing of a foreign grant must (a) give notice of the application in accordance with the Supreme Court Civil Rules, (b) disclose information as required under the Supreme Court Civil Rules concerning the property of the deceased person situated in British Columbia that the foreign personal representative seeks to administer, and (c) if the application relates to a foreign grant of administration with or without will annexed and security is required to be provided under section 128 [security for administration of estates], provide security in an amount approved by the court. (3) On a resealing with the seal of the court, the foreign grant (a) has the same effect in British Columbia as if it were issued by the court, and (b) is, with respect to property situated in British Columbia, subject to any order of the court to which a representation grant issued by the court with respect to the same property would be subject. (3.1) The registrar of the court may reseal a foreign grant in the circumstances described in subsection (1) if the application to reseal the foreign grant is (a) unopposed, and (b) made in accordance with the applicable Supreme Court Civil Rules. (4) If a foreign grant cannot be resealed under this section, the court may make an ancillary grant of probate or administration to the foreign personal representative. |
