Passing of Accounts
The Public Guardian and Trustee will seek Court approval of its fees by passing its accounts in The Court of Queen's Bench in the following circumstances:
- where an heir to an estate refuses to sign a Release to the Public Guardian and Trustee; and
- where an heir to an estate is legally incapable of giving a Release and has no one authorized to give it on his or her behalf.
When accounts are passed, The Court reviews all Public Guardian and Trustee fees.
