Do you need a Death Certificate in order to probate?

Question

in Ontario Canada?

Answer 1

Yes, not only does it prove the death and date of death of the testator, but is also helps to establish jurisdiction of the court with information including the place of death and address of testator at death.

Answer 2

Answer 3

I'm not from Ontario, but I'd be VERY surprised if you can probate a will there without a death certificate.
