The death of a loved one is one of the most traumatic experiences that anyone can go through.
Not only are you dealing with the grief and shock and emotions of your loved one dying but now someone has to deal with a mountain of administrative and legal tasks, such as notifying financial institutions and government authorities, dealing with wills and assets, and obtaining a death certificate.
The Government of Canada has a helpful checklist of some of the many different tasks someone dealing with a loved one’s death will have to deal with. We attach a link to the checklist here: After a Death Checklist
At Carter Litigation, we can assist with both understanding and dealing with many of the legal and administrative tasks, such as probating the estate, assisting with notifying various parties, and providing advice as to how to navigate any difficulties you might encounter on the way.
