Estate Organization Support After a Death
When someone close to you dies, settling an estate can feel overwhelming — especially when you are also grieving.
Bank accounts, investments, tax filings, property transfers, insurance claims, debts, probate requirements, legal documents, and family questions — all arriving at once, with deadlines you may not even know about yet.
Nola Advisory LLC provides compassionate, CPA-level estate organization support for executors, liquidators, personal representatives, and families who need someone steady and experienced to help organize the process and move forward — one careful step at a time.
Practical help settling an estate after someone dies
Winding up an estate is rarely just one task. It is a series of financial, administrative, legal, and personal responsibilities that often involve multiple people, professionals, and deadlines.
Deborah Voronoff, CPA, helps bring structure and calm to the executor process by helping you understand what needs attention, what information must be gathered, which professionals may need to be involved, and what your responsibilities are as executor, liquidator, or personal representative.
This is especially helpful when the estate involves probate, assets in more than one jurisdiction, family members in different locations, unclear or missing paperwork, or financial accounts that are difficult to sort through.
What we help organize

- ◆Identifying and organizing estate documents
- ◆Reviewing financial accounts, assets, liabilities, and obligations

Who this is for
This support may be right for you if:
- ◆You have been named executor, liquidator, or personal representative
- ◆A parent, spouse, sibling, or close family member has died
- ◆You are unsure what to do first
- ◆The estate includes accounts, property, or assets in Canada and the U.S.
- ◆Family members are asking questions and you do not yet have clear answers
- ◆You are trying to coordinate lawyers, accountants, banks, and paperwork
- ◆You feel overwhelmed by the responsibility and want experienced guidance
If this sounds like your situation, you don't have to navigate it alone.
What should you do first after someone dies?
The first step is usually not to make big financial decisions immediately.
The first step is to slow the process down, gather the key documents, identify the professionals already involved, and create a clear picture of the estate before acting.
This can include locating the will, identifying the executor or liquidator, gathering account statements, listing assets and debts, and understanding which deadlines or filings may apply.
Having an experienced person help organize these pieces early can prevent confusion, reduce duplicated effort, and help avoid costly mistakes.
How this works
Start with a conversation
We begin with a confidential discussion about your situation. No obligation — just a chance to talk through what you're facing and see if support makes sense.
Gather and organize
I help you identify what documents exist, what accounts need attention, what professionals are already involved, and what steps come next.
Coordinate and move forward
I act as a central point of coordination — communicating with banks, lawyers, and accountants, tracking tasks, and helping you stay organized through the entire estate settlement process.

No. Nola Advisory LLC does not provide legal advice. The work is focused on financial organization, coordination, and practical guidance.
Can you help with estates involving both Canada and the U.S.?
Yes. Nola Advisory LLC works with families and individuals navigating Canada/U.S. financial complexity and can help coordinate the right professionals when cross-border issues are involved.
