Читать книгу How Executors Avoid Personal Liability - Lynne Butler - Страница 4

In this chapter, you will find a brief review of the laws, regulations, and procedures that set out how an executor must behave in Canada. All statutes (written laws) that apply to wills, probate, and estate administration are provincial, so there are surprisingly wide differences between them. However, the general rules and principles are the same across the country. In the downloadable kit that accompanies this book, you will find a list of the laws that apply to each province and territory.

Laws regarding taxation of estates are made federally so they are the same for all Canadians.

The goal of this chapter is to guide you towards greater understanding of your role as executor and to help you find the resources you need.
