WHY WORK WITH A CERTIFIED EXECUTOR ADVISOR?

Serving as an executor of an estate is a tough job. Executors may need the assistance of upwards of seventeen professions in order to get the job done. Certified Executor Advisors are experts in their own field but also have broad practical knowledge of everything the executor needs to know. As Certified Executor Advisors we are uniquely equipped to guide executors, steering them away from potential problems and towards the professionals and solutions they need all with a view to preserving as much of the estate assets as possible.

DEBRA HORTON
CERTIFIED EXECUTOR ADVISOR

With over 30 years of experience as a Wills and Estates Paralegal, I have committed my career to helping families manage the complexities of estate administration.  I am a Paralegal, Certified Executor Advisor, Certified Legal Coach, Commissioner for Oaths, and a member of the Canadian Institute of Certified Executor Advisors and The Legal Coaches Association.

Having served as an executor myself, I truly understand the emotional and administrative challenges executors face.  My business is dedicated to supporting executors, offering guidance through every step of the process to ensure that estates

are managed effectively and legacies are preserved.

 

I believe in empowering executors to navigate their duties with confidence, providing them with the tools and expertise they need to make informed decisions.  My focus is on keeping the legacy within the estate and

helping families avoid unnecessary legal expenses.
