Complete the estate order to a former spouse without retyping your details

When a former spouse has rights in an estate, the court may issue an order to the former spouse as part of probate — and the form repeats names, addresses, and estate details. 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 74.41 - Courts of Justice Act. Order to Former Spouse — rcp-74-41

What this form is about

Form 74.41 is a court order directed to a former spouse in an estate administration proceeding under the Courts of Justice Act. It is used when the former spouse's rights or claims must be addressed as part of the probate process.

Before you start: what to gather
