Calgary, Alberta

Calgary probate, done at your kitchen table.

Answer a few plain-English questions about the estate and Probbie prepares your official Court of King's Bench probate forms as a draft package to review before signing or filing at the Calgary Courts Centre. For a straightforward estate you may not need a lawyer at all. (Probbie is a self-help tool, not a law firm — this is not legal advice.)

Calgary estates

Built for what Calgary estates actually hold.

Calgary real estate

Calgary's market means many estates include valuable property. Probbie walks you through when probate is required for a transfer and how to handle:

  • Single-family homes across Calgary neighbourhoods
  • Condos and townhouses
  • Investment and rental properties
  • Jointly owned property

Oil & gas assets

Plenty of Calgary-area estates include energy-sector holdings. The inventory has room for the assets that trip people up:

  • Oil and gas royalty payments
  • Energy company stock and options
  • Mineral rights and leases
  • Industry pension plans

For a straightforward Calgary estate, a lawyer can run $2,000–$10,000+. Probbie is one flat fee — and on a simple estate it can save you thousands. The court's filing fee is the same either way.
