Complex Issues in Estate Administration 

Apr. 1, 2026
Toronto ON


OBA Trusts and Estates Law PROGRAM
 | 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM

Estate administration rarely proceeds without complication. Join us to examine some of the most challenging and emerging issues facing estate professionals, with a focus on identifying risk early and navigating problems effectively when they arise. We’ll unravel:

  • Exposure to U.S. tax filing and reporting obligations—even for Canadian residents who do not own U.S. real estate—and practical considerations when administering assets held abroad
  • Evolving and sensitive areas such as genetic materials and posthumous conception, including planning strategies to avoid disputes and guidance on resolving conflicts if they arise
  • Absentee proceedings, Declarations of Death, and Benjamin Orders, with reference to recent case law and the executor’s duty to make reasonable efforts to locate heirs
  • How to manage estates involving incapable beneficiaries who lack substitute decision-makers, including recent changes to Rule 7 and the approval of settlements involving incapable persons.


Designed specifically for trusts and estates practitioners, you’ll get practical guidance on navigating complexity with confidence and diligence. Register now!
