How do I obtain a copy of a health record of a deceased patient?
Provide proof of legal authority with a written request to the Health Information Management Department outlining the records required. You must provide either:
* a copy of the deceased person’s will naming you as the executor; or
* in the absence of a will, “Certificate of Appointment of Estate Trustee” signed by a registrar of the court
which can be obtained from the Estate Registrar Office, as follows:
Estate Registrar for Ontario
c/o Toronto Estates Office
Superior Court of Justice
330 University Avenue
Toronto ON M5G 1R7
If you have any questions, contact Health Information Management at 705-549-3181, ext. 4941.
