Alberta probate · draft form preparation
You answer.We fill the forms.You review.
Answer plain-English questions about the estate. Probbie prepares Court of King's Bench form layouts as a DRAFT package for review. Probbie does not file it, guarantee acceptance, or replace Alberta's official online service or legal advice.
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.
Check the official Alberta serviceHow it works
From a stack of questions
to a draft package for review.
Tell us about the estate
A guided, plain-English questionnaire walks you through it — the deceased, the assets, the debts, the beneficiaries. No legal jargon, and no guessing which form is which.
Probbie prepares the forms
Your answers are filled into the official Court of King’s Bench form layouts as a draft package. Inventory totals are calculated for review so the math is easier to check before filing.
You review, then sign or file
Review every draft first and get legal help where needed. Probbie does not submit an application. Depending on eligibility, use Alberta’s official online service or follow current court directions for a paper application.
Why Probbie
Built for careful review.
Official form layouts, filled for review
The paid initial package prepares GA1, GA2, and GA3 draft layouts. GA5 and GA7 shown here are separate prototypes and are not included in the $349 package. Every generated form still requires review.
Common correction traps flagged
Alberta's surrogate clerks are exacting, and DIY applications routinely come back for fixes. Probbie fills mapped fields and reconciles the totals so your draft package is easier to review before filing.
The current forms
Alberta replaced the old NC forms with the GA series in June 2022. Probbie uses the current ones — the older kits and templates floating around don't.
A flat fee
Save thousands
For a straightforward estate, a lawyer can run $2,000–$10,000+. Probbie is one flat fee. The court's filing fee is the same either way.
Complex estate? We'll pause
Probbie blocks several unsupported situations and points customers to the Law Society of Alberta referral service. No named lawyer roster or bundled legal review is currently offered.
Honest by design
Probbie prepares review-required drafts. It is not a law firm, does not give legal advice, and does not submit an application to the court.
