Toronto Library Seminars for Executors


Are you planning your estate or running an estate? What do you know about probate?

You don’t need to go to graduate school to be an executor/estate trustee.

You do, however, need to have an overview of the probate process.

What happens to an estate is everyone’s business. That includes the persons making their will, executors and estate beneficiaries.

What tasks must executors perform and when?

I will explain this in my one-hour seminars. I have been invited to conduct probate seminars at local libraries across Toronto in May and June.

Can You Help Me?

I’d love to have your input as I prepare my speaking notes.

Please tell me: what is your biggest fear about probate?

Share your executor fears or questions before May 20th and I’ll send the first 5 people a complimentary copy of my ebook, Executor Quick Start.

Just send in your email titled “Probate Fear” using my contact form here. (Please do not provide any confidential information. I do not provide legal advice by email.)
