There are a number of province-specific forms you may need when going through the probate process.

This page lists common PE forms and offers help in locating others. While you are welcome to browse these forms, note that the Tasks Tab will guide you through the use of relevant forms at the appropriate times.

General PE Forms

In Prince Edward Island, the Estate Court of the Supreme Court handles probate and estate administration (see court locations).

Small PE Estate Forms

Small estates sometimes need only 1 specialized form or affidavit: see Small PE Estates.

Resealing

If the estate needs to probate real estate in another province, you may be able to reseal the original grant of probate rather than start from scratch in the secondary province: see Ancillary Probate & Resealing.
