  • Estate planning: We can help create a plan to distribute your assets upon death. It involves organizing your financial affairs and ensuring that your loved ones are properly taken care of.

  • Estate administration: Our specialized team can help manage and distribute a deceased person's assets according to their will or the laws of intestacy.

  • Trustee - power of attorney services: A trustee is a person or entity appointed to manage assets held in trust.
