Just Estates™ – Karen Hanson-Parsons, Chartered Professional Accountant, a sole practitioner accounting firm, offers a comprehensive and tailored range of fiduciary services: • agent for personal representative (executor) • full administrator and trustee appointments • advisory services: post-mortem planning, shareholder succession/buy-sell • estate account preparation and professional communications for beneficiaries • tax preparation services/clearance certificate requests The death of a loved one is never easy. When those with a direct interest in an estate are chosen as fiduciaries, the outcome for both the beneficiaries and the person honouring the appointment is often less than satisfactory. For the appointed personal representative (PR), this undertaking can be even more difficult due to the complex, time-consuming and stressful nature of their role. The high standards and expectations of an estate’s beneficiaries often come as an unwelcome surprise to the PR, which can lead to unpleasant family conflict, costly mistakes and potential litigation.
