    Only when CRA grants the clearance certificate can we start distributing the estate...
    You can distribute funds before that... just make sure you hold enough back to cover lawyer/accountant/taxes.

      I'm the second ex..we had been divorced for 2 years when my ex died having surgery. We have 2 kids for whom I'm still getting support To my surprize he left me his pension and life insurance. I am the named beneficiary. It's been four months and I haven't seen a penny. The first ex ( divorced 1992) has put in a claim for the money. She remarried in 1994 but had a clause claiming part of our ex's pension once he retired. He died before retirement. He had a valid will and she and her adult child were not named to receive anything. She did receive child support and alimony.
      Is she going to get the money I need to raise my kids?
      This going to take longer than 4 months when someone other than the beneficiary also makes a claim.

      In my case I probably can distribute funds before the final CRA certificate. Its a simple estate and no one other than the named beneficiaries to distribute funds to. The posters situation is more messy and will take time to settle. If she has a family law claim to the estate, she needs to bring this forward, and see a lawyer.
