What is a Local Registrar's Certificate of No Infants Interested in Saskatchewan?
This answer covers the law of Saskatchewan.
A Local Registrar's Certificate of No Infants Interested is a document confirming that no beneficiary of the estate is under 18 or a dependent adult. In Saskatchewan, you request it from the Court of King's Bench for $25 when the estate includes real property and no named beneficiary is under 18 or a dependent adult.
Timing matters. It must be requested at the time you file the application for the grant. If you did not request it then, you can instead get one from the Office of the Public Guardian and Trustee using a notarized copy of the Letters and an affidavit that no minors or dependent adults are interested. Confirm the fee for that route with the Office of the Public Guardian and Trustee before you apply.
The certificate is one of the documents needed to sell real property when no beneficiaries are under 18. If a minor is a beneficiary, a land sale needs further consents, including from Children's Services at the Public Guardian and Trustee. Whether it applies to your estate depends on who the beneficiaries are and what the estate holds.
