→Prepare and file income tax returns
If the deceased had assets or income in another country, you may need to file a foreign income tax return as well.
After the income tax is reported, assessed and paid, apply for a '''clearance certificate'''. For your own protection, you should have this certificate before you begin to distribute the estate. For more information, see the Canada Revenue Agency publication ''Preparing Returns for Deceased Persons'', available at [http://canada.ca/tax canada.ca/tax] or by calling 1-800-959-8281.
