The Great Seal of Canada is one of the oldest and most venerated instruments of our government. Since the earliest days of [the] nation, Canada's most important documents have been made official through its imprint. The Great Seal signifies the power and authority of the Crown flowing from the sovereign to [the] parliamentary government. The Great Seal has both ceremonial and administrative purposes. Each time a new governor general is installed in Canada, he or she is solemnly charged with custody of the Seal as representative of the Crown. It is used on all state documents, such as Royal proclamations and commissions issued for the appointment of Cabinet ministers, lieutenant governors, senators and judges. 2, record 2, English, - Great%20Seal%20of%20Canada

Original probate of a will in a jurisdiction other than that of the domicile of the testator is, of course, to be distinguished from ancillary probate. The latter term connotes a "secondary" establishment in one jurisdiction of a will that had previously been established in another jurisdiction as the testator's last will, and... is ordinarily required, if at all, only where the testator left property in a state other than that of the original probate which cannot be collected or managed, or as to which state death taxes cannot be fixed, without the appointment in such state of a legal representative.(Tomlinson, "Administration of Decedents’ Estates", 2nd ed., 1978, p. 69) 1, record 7, English, - original%20probate

There have been some decisions to the contrary, but generally it seems that a payment of a debt to a foreign domiciliary executor or administrator discharges the obligation where at the time there was no representative in the state of the domicil of the debtor... On the other hand, payment of a debt to a foreign executor or administrator does not operate as a discharge where there is at the time a local executor or administrator, unless, perhaps, the person paying did not have actual notice of the appointment of a local representative.("American Jurisprudence", 2nd ed., v. 31, 1967, p. 287) 1, record 8, English, - local%20executor
