**Some estates are more complicated to settle than others. This is often the case when a trust has been established; if the property of the deceased is located in more than one jurisdiction; if the assets of the deceased includes equity in a corporation, partnership or other legal body; or if the estate is settled in a jurisdiction where the law requires the services of an attorney. If further to our review we believe that settling the estate requires additional, specific or more sophisticated professional services, we will mention it to you and we will suggest that you retain the services of third party professionals in order to settle the estate. We understand that you may however prefer that we continue to handle the settling of the estate for you. If that is the case, we will retain the services of professionals to address those specific issues. Additional fees will then apply. For more information, see our privacy policy and terms of use.
