Apply for estate trustee during litigation — let hivi handle the repeating fields

When an estate is under dispute, this application asks the court to appoint a trustee to manage it — and it repeats the same identification details as other estate forms. This guide is an example of letting hivi fill those.

Official form and source

• Service page: Apply for probate of an estate — ontario.ca
• Form (Central Forms Repository): Application for Certificate of Appointment of Estate Trustee During Litigation (Form 74-5-1) — rcp-74-5-1

What this form is about

The application asks the Superior Court of Justice to appoint a trustee to manage an estate while a dispute is resolved, without permanently determining who inherits.

Before you start: what to gather

• Your name, address, and contact information.
• The deceased's name, date of death, and last address.
• The estate and dispute details the court requires.

Confirm the current process on ontario.ca and seek legal advice.

How hivi makes it faster

1. Store the repeating details once. Save your and the deceased's identification details in hivi.
2. Autofill the identification fields. Use the hivi Chrome extension on a web form, or fill a PDF from your saved details inside hivi.
3. Prepare the legal documents yourself or with a lawyer.
4. File yourself with the court.

Why do it in hivi

Estate paperwork repeats names and addresses across every form. Stored once in hivi — in Canada, with self-hosted AI — the repeating fields fill themselves.
