About
Probate is mostly forms. Probbie does the forms.
Settling an estate in Alberta means a stack of Court of King’s Bench paperwork that is tedious rather than difficult. Probbie turns it into plain-English questions and prepares the draft package for you to review.
Draft, then review
Probbie prepares Court of King’s Bench form layouts from plain-English answers and hands them back as a DRAFT package. You review every page before anything is filed. It does not file for you, and it does not promise the court will accept anything.
It says when you need a lawyer
The questionnaire screens for situations it does not support and recommends a lawyer when it finds one. That screening cannot prove a matter is simple — it can only flag the ones it recognises as not.
One flat fee
The initial draft package is $349 once per estate. No subscription, no per-form pricing, nothing to cancel. The court’s own filing fees are separate and are paid to the court.
Never legal advice
Probbie is self-help software. It is not a law firm, no solicitor-client relationship is created by using it, and nothing it produces is legal advice. The same rule governs Probbie Answers, the phone line it runs for firms.
Check Alberta's official online option first
Alberta's Surrogate Digital Service lets some self-represented applicants prepare and submit a grant application online. Eligibility depends on the application and includes requirements such as one Alberta-resident applicant, a verified Alberta.ca Account, a computer, and scanned supporting documents. Court filing fees still apply.
Probbie is a separate $349 self-help service. It prepares review-required DRAFT PDFs; it does not file an application or replace the court's service.

He files. He also answers.
Probbie prepares probate draft packages for people settling an estate, and runs an after-hours intake line for law firms — taking the matter down, sorting urgent from routine, and putting a brief on the lawyer’s desk by morning. Same rules on both: intake and paperwork only, never advice.
