Clearance certificate

Responsibility : Canada Revenue Agency

If you are the liquidator of a succession, before you distribute the deceased’s property, you must obtain the authorization of the Canada Revenue Agency by filling out an Asking for a Clearance Certificate form.

This certificate protects you by freeing you of personal liability for any unpaid income tax, interest and penalties of the deceased.
