Kate Ross
Senior Trust and Estate Consultant
As a Senior Trust and Estate Consultant, I believe that a key component of any wealth management plan is estate planning which provides you and your family with confidence and peace of mind by protecting you, your family, your assets, and preserving your legacy.
For complex estate and trust issues, I can draw on the expertise of my Cl BC partners, recommend external professionals and help develop solutions and coordinate communication.
Administering an estate or trust or acting as an attorney for property is time consuming and requires knowledge of many different areas. My team and I have the expertise to execute or assist others to execute those roles effectively and efficiently, relieving the burden of administration from loved ones and allowing them to focus on what matters most.
