I also hold a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration with major in Foreign Trade, in addition to my RIS-Responsible Investment Specialist designation, MFA-P-Master Financial Advisor in Philanthropy designation and have recently earned my CEA-Certified Executor Advisor designation
The role of Executor is often thought
of as a position of “honour". Most
people who accept the role of Executor do so without fully comprehending what
will be required of them. Being appointed as an Executor of a Will has a
great deal of responsibility. It is a fiduciary duty and there is
considerable personal liability associated with it. As a Certified Executor Advisor, my job is to
set the Executor up for success by providing them with a roadmap for their
future role, as well as, working with the Testator to make sure his/her wishes
are understood. By working together, the
Executor has the direction and the information required to fulfill the final
wishes of the Testator and will significantly reduce the time and risk associated with performing these duties.
No one wants their Executor to fail. Working together and planning
ahead goes a long way in setting up the Executor to succeed. That is best
way to ensure that this role is truly an "honour".
Rick is a life insurance and living benefits specialist. In 30 years of business - interesting stuff has happened with his client's businesses, their family members and their employees as they face the life's events.
As a Certified Executor Advisor, Rick is honoured to hold the hand of the person, that his client has appointed as their Executor. Most people do not do the activities of an Executor on a daily basis and they are called to duty at a highly emotional time.
Rick takes a unique approach in his practice. When there is harmony in the family prior to a loss, he wants that harmony to continue when the unexpected happens, by facilitating family and business discussions about the inevitable, well before the Executor needs to act.
Rick's personal and company motto is "Live Large Now" but take some time to make sure all of your ducks are in a row.
