On October 15, 2021, a regulation was filed to amend court rules and forms for estates proceedings in the Superior Court of Justice: O. Reg. 709/21, amending the Rules of Civil Procedure.

The regulation: 

•  streamlines the Rule 74 probate process;
• aligns the Rule 74 application forms with Succession Law Reform Act amendments to sections 15(a), 16, 17 and 43.1 that were made through the Accelerating Access to Justice Act, 2021, Schedule 9; and
• makes administrative amendments to 15 estate court forms.

These estate court rule and form amendments will come into force on January 1, 2022.
