Estate paperwork

One less thing to carry at a difficult time.

After a death, families are asked for a long list of documents. We collect and organise them for your attorney, so the estate can move forward and you can focus on your family.

We are not attorneys and do not give advice on wills, probate or inheritance. If you don’t have an attorney, we can suggest that you speak to one first.

Questions
Do we need an attorney as well?

Yes. Probate and estate matters should be handled by an attorney. We make their work faster by getting the documents together.
