Describe the condition of a deposited will without retyping your details

When a will is filed for probate, an affidavit may be required describing its physical condition — and it repeats your name, address, and details about the will or codicil. This guide is an example of storing them once in hivi.

Official form and source

Start from the official source and always use the current version — form numbers and links can change:

• Service page: Apply for probate of an estate — ontario.ca
• Form (Central Forms Repository): FORM 74-10 - Courts of Justice Act. Affidavit of Condition of Will or Codicil — rcp-74-10

What this form is about

Form 74.10 is an affidavit describing the physical condition of a will or codicil submitted with an application for a certificate of appointment. It confirms whether the document is complete and legible.

Before you start: what to gather

• Your full legal name and current address as deponent.
• The deceased's name and date of death.
• Description of the will's condition — pages, staples, alterations.
• Whether the will appears complete and unaltered.

Confirm the current process on ontario.ca.
