Estate Aftercare

Being appointed an executor is a huge responsibility and can be a very overwhelming task for many people. After the funeral you might not know where to start. That is where Lisa and Cheryl step in and help you with their after-care expertise. They guide families through what comes next. Cheryl Courtemanche joined the Hillcrest team over two years ago, bringing with her an extensive estate experience from the banking world. Lisa and Cheryl will meet with you, get everything organized and prepare you to meet with the professionals you may need to see ie: Financial Advisors, Bankers, Lawyers, Insurance Brokers etc. They will prepare all government forms, handle any pension applications both local and foreign, navigate the closing of social media accounts, drivers licences and OHIP. They will handle just about anything you can think of and probably a few things that you didn't even know needed to be done.
