Aftercare

After a loved one passes, there are many details besides the cremation that must be attended to. Bank account updates, land titles, credit card notification, cancellation of Alberta Health Care, timely insurance claims and Canada Pension Plan benefits are among the most pressing matters facing a survivor and may impact your financial well-being. Assistance with these critical details is available by request.
