[L'] «affidavit» [fait par celui qui réclame le «grant»] comporte [...] des renseignements sur le défunt et se termine par une déclaration de la valeur globale de la succession.

OBS

«valeur homologuée» : L'adjectif «homologué» vient du substantif «homologation», lequel désigne la sanction d'un acte juridique par le tribunal ou plus précisément l'approbation donnée à un acte juridique par le tribunal ou le juge dans le but de le rendre exécutoire. Pour cette raison, nous croyons préférable d'éviter «valeur homologuée» comme équivalent de «probate value», les deux notions ne correspondant pas.
