Consent or object to a proposed estate trustee without retyping your details

If someone applies to be appointed estate trustee, persons with an interest may be ordered to consent or object — and the form repeats your name, address, and position. 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 74.38 - Courts of Justice Act. Order to Consent or Object to a Proposed Appointment of an Estate Trustee with or without a Will — rcp-74-38

What this form is about

Form 74.38 is a court order requiring a person with an interest in the estate to consent to or object to a proposed appointment of an estate trustee with or without a will.

Before you start: what to gather

• Your full legal name and current address.
• The deceased's name and applicant's name.
• Your interest in the estate.
• Whether you consent or object and why.
