Filing probate from Vancouver
Probate in BC is handled by the Supreme Court, and you can file your application at any Supreme Court registry in the province — not just the closest one. For most Vancouver estates, the nearest registry is:
Vancouver Supreme Court registry (Vancouver Law Courts)
800 Smithe Street, Vancouver, BC V6Z 2E1
604-660-2876 (probate department)
Registry counter hours: Monday–Friday, 9 am–4 pm, closed statutory holidays
Not sure what goes in the filing package? Start with the BC probate forms, explained — and check the probate fee calculator for what the court will charge. Registry addresses change occasionally — verify current details on the BC courts website before you go.
