Apply for an estate trustee appointment (no will) — let hivi handle the repeating fields

When there is no will, the estate trustee application still requires the applicant's and deceased's identification details across several documents. 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 Without a Will (Form 74-4-1) — rcp-74-4-1

What this form is about

The application asks the Superior Court of Justice to appoint an estate trustee when a person dies without a will.

Before you start: what to gather

• Your name, address, and contact information.
• The deceased person's name, date of death, and last address.
• The estate value and asset details the court rules require.

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

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 estate documents yourself or with a lawyer.
4. File yourself with the court.

Why do it in hivi

Estate paperwork repeats the same names and addresses across many documents. Stored once in hivi — in Canada, with no third-party AI — the repeating fields fill themselves.
