Exécuteurs testamentaires
L’exécuteur testamentaire est le représentant personnel de votre succession. Il est la personne en charge de prendre le contrôle de vos actifs, de payer les dettes, et de la distribution de biens à vos bénéficiaires par les termes et conditions de votre volonté. Vous pouvez choisir n’importe qui pour être l’exécuteur de votre testament, mais c’est une bonne idée de choisir quelqu’un qui est à la fois compétent et digne de confiance. La personne que vous choisissez pour être exécuteur devrait être présentée dans votre testament. La personne que vous nommez pour être l’exécuteur de votre testament a le droit de refuser, de sorte que vous devriez avoir un deuxième exécuteur nommé au cas où.
Successions
L’homologation est le processus juridique qui transfère le titre juridique de la propriété de la succession du défunt à leurs bénéficiaires. Pendant le processus d’homologation l’exécuteur de votre testament va devant les tribunaux et identifie tous les biens que vous possédiez, en évalue la propriété, et paie toutes les dettes et les impôts, prouve que le testament est valide et légal, et distribue la propriété selon les instructions du testament. L’homologation peut être un processus juridique de longue haleine, s’il n’y a pas de plans d’homologation de mis en place. Il suffit de parler à votre avocat pour savoir ce que vous pouvez faire pour éviter l’homologation dans votre région.
Testaments
Tout le monde sait qu’ils devraient avoir un testament, mais la grande majorité – environ 70% d’entre nous – n’en a pas. La rédaction d’un testament est facile et peu coûteuse, et une fois qu’il est fait, vous pouvez dormir tranquille en sachant que votre argent durement gagné et vos biens seront distribués selon vos souhaits. En autre, si vous avez des enfants, vous pouvez mentionner qui les prendra en charge lors de votre décès afin d’éviter que cette décision soit prise par les tribunaux. Faire un testament est facile, il vous suffit d’être âgé d’au moins 18 ans et être sain d’esprit lorsque le testament est rédigé. Pour faire un testament légal, on doit
Bien que vous n’ayez pas besoin d’un notaire pour faire un testament, il est recommandé de le faire avec un avocat car il va évitera tous les maux de tête juridiques après votre décès. Une fois que votre testament est terminé, il est recommandé qu’il soit maintenu dans un endroit sûr et sécurisé à l’extérieur de votre maison. Si vous faites faire votre testament par un notaire la plupart des cabinets d’avocats les conservent pour vous gratuitement. Beaucoup de gens gardent leur testament dans une boîte de dépôt de sécurité dans une banque, mais ce n’est pas recommandé comme le contenu pourrait être scellé au moment de la mort. L’exécuteur de votre testament doit être conscient de l’emplacement de celui-ci.
Certificat de décès
Un certificat de décès certifié est nécessaire avant de procéder à quoi que ce soit. Un certificat de décès peut être obtenu par un directeur de funérailles. C’est une bonne idée d’obtenir plusieurs copies d’un certificat de décès car la plupart des agences exigent un certificat certifié et non une photocopie.
Comptes bancaires
Ce qui doit être fait avec les comptes bancaires après un décès varie selon les régions. Dans certaines régions, les comptes bancaires sont automatiquement gelés après un décès. Pour éviter toute complication, la banque doit être informée immédiatement, et vous devriez trouver les procédures pour la libération de ces fonds, et comment mettre en place un nouveau compte pour les fonds reçus après la mort. Il est recommandé que le compte conjoint reste ouvert pendant au moins six mois pour vous permettre de déposer des chèques qui sont faits à la personne décédée. Pour enlever un nom d’un compte bancaire conjoint, les banques exigent une copie certifiée conforme du certificat de décès. Si le défunt avait un coffre de sécurité dans une banque, le contenu peut être scellé après la mort et une copie certifiée conforme d’un certificat de décès sera nécessaire pour accéder au contenu.
Craig was an amazing coworker. He joined my directorate as a replacing manager and we hit it off immediately. He was easy going, always answer unscheduled calls and was a voice of mentorship, and camaraderie.
I will miss hearing his voice, having him voice his concerns as a team player and most of all, the chance to learn from him and his experiences.
J’offre mes condoléances à la famille de Craig. Il était avec nous depuis un an au bureau, et il a laissé sa trace. Sa dédication, son enthousiasme et ses blagues du vendredi matin vont nous manquer. La vie est si fragile. Bon courage !
My sympathies to all Craig’s family and friends.
His infectious smile will be missed at work.
Please accept our condolences. Our deepest thoughts and prayers go out to your family!!!
Craig… warm, friendly, funny, supportive, sharing, humble
Rest in peace dear colleague
Craig and I joined a new section on the same day. Kindest man I have known. I was grappling with the most challenging and traumatic phase of my life – and during those dark days, it was Craig who helped me see light with his unwavering positivity, encouragement and wisdom. He was a good listener and helped dissect problems with such clarity and compassion. This unique ability to break down complex problems, negative energies into manageable pieces empowered me on a personal front to face my fears with new found strength. His mentoring wasn’t just about offering advice, it was about instilling resilience and hope!
You will be dearly missed my friend!
It is with profund shock and deep deep sadness to hear about the loss of Craig. The sorrow is heart wrenching and I simply am unable to process this – how is this possible? why do the best leave us so soon and so suddenly. It gives pause to reflect on all that we take for granted. Stephanie, Hailey,Melanie and all family, my prayers are with each of you to give you the strength and endurance to face all that is ahead of you with the courage and smile that Craig would expect. With loads of love.
Craig was my manager and quickly became a friendship. He has an amazing work ethic and was immensely dedicated to his work, spending numerous hours off the clock to his family’s dismay.
Stephanie, Hailey, I am sorry I was not there to help him through it. Know that you cherished you both immensely.
Craig you are going to be missed buddy.

Craig was such a positive person and it was a real pleasure to work with him in the RPA project. He will be missed.

I am profoundly saddened and heartbroken at Craig’s passing. Although we began as colleagues, we quickly became friends, confidants and each other’s cheerleaders. Above all Craig was an amazing human being that cared so deeply for others.
While I hope Craig took something away from our friendship I can say with certainty that he has taught me a lot about being a manager, parent, friend and good person!

Rest well, my friend!
It seems some of the brightest lights in this world leave us far too soon and we are left without the words to understand. Craig was one of those lights in the workplace, He brought genuine energy, positivity and would always lend a hand to his team members and colleagues. He was the roll up his sleeves, let’s get it done person you would always want on your team or to be a part of his. I fondly remember sharing many a lunch meeting with him and the EFT team at Boardroom ‘L’.
It is with deep sadness I offer my condolences to his family. May the best of him remain with you forever and you find strength together to keep his memories close.

Over the years, he made an indelible mark on our professional lives, offering not only his expertise but also a listening ear and a guiding hand whenever it was needed.
He always inspired his team with his work ethic, humility, and his ability to find the best in every situation. Beyond his professionalism, Craig was a wonderful friend, known for humor, and generosity. He leaves behind a legacy of compassion and excellence that will continue to influence us all.

Over the last 10+ years, we worked often together on many initiatives. You taught me a lot when I started as a team leader. You always had a good way to handle anything coming at you. Always a that great smile.
I worked only 2-3 months under his supervision. He was SO kind and motivational person. I had a chat with him before the weekend that I cannot forget. May God make it easy for his family.
Stephanie and Hailey, my heart breaks for you!
Craig was a dear friend and colleague for many years! He was funny, thoughtful and full of energy. We had an ongoing joke of the day between us for about 10-15years! I will miss him dearly ❤️

I feel very fortunate to have worked with Craig and to have had his support and camaraderie behind the scenes over the past several years. I really admired and respected how genuinely he cared about people, and cared about how the work he was a part of was not only quality work, but work that would have a positive and enabling impact on others. His comments to me were always insightful, spot-on/common sense, and very helpful. My condolences to his family and friends – he was a genuinely lovely person, whose intellect, experience and advice i respected and listened to.
My heart is broken and part of my weekly sunshine has been clouded over. Craig and I have been good friends a very long time and I know he was there to help anyone at any time, hard dedicated worker and a great leader.

Craig was my manager and gave me an amazing opportunity- he took a chance on me, when nobody else would. We supported one another in our shared struggles to get initiatives through. It was his determination to make a difference wherever he worked, that was very appealing to a fellow trailblazer. I miss you, my friend, and rest in peace.

I am heartbroken at the news of Craig’s passing. I had the privilege of knowing Craig for almost 30 years. From our early years in the NHD to working together on classification in my last year at CRA. Craig’s smile was infectious, and he always made me laugh by signing ‘Right Said Fred’ in his emails (a nickname I gave him in the early years). You will be missed. May you Rest In Peace my friend.

My dear Craig, i am so heartbroken! Your passing is still surreal and how I hurt knowing we didn’t have an opportunity to express to you how much you were truly loved by all of us and everyone around you! I am truly blessed to have had the opportunity to work with you over the past 15 years, and will cherish this time with you. You were our sunshine, a perfectionist at heart and your caring touch made your team members feel like they were special and unique, everyone felt like they had their own special place, you always knew how to see the strength of each which made it even more special! I was privileged to finish of my career with someone as wonderful as you! Rest in peace my dear friend 💔
