Each deceased person leaves behind his or her unique mix of assets and financial interests that will pass to his or her beneficiaries in accordance with the deceased person’s Will or, if the person died without a valid Will, in accordance with the law of intestate succession.
Some assets may pass to beneficiaries outside the estate by right of survivorship, beneficiary designation, or a Living Trust.
Executors need assistance and guidance in understanding how to deal with the transfer of legal title to assets that form the estate and with the eventual realization or sale of the deceased person’s assets.
Whether the executor needs assistance with the transfer of legal title to a home, farm or cottage, private or public company shares, bank or investment accounts, or any other financial instruments, we can assist with all the required formalities.
