Welcome to the Executor Guide, a free public resource provided by Heritage Trust Company. This is a living document that will evolve with legislative changes. It’s currently primarily focussed on British Columbia law but is in the process of being expanded to apply to estate administration across Canada.

The Executor Guide is intended as a resource only and not as legal advice. It has been broken up into various sections so that you can easily navigate to the information that is relevant to your specific legal issue.
