From reporting the death to finalising taxes and distributing assets, we’ll cover the full estate process. You’ll learn the executor’s duties, what a compliant will looks like, and how estate duty and final income tax returns work. Best of all, you’ll discover how to add value (and bill for it) by guiding your clients through this complex space.
