Nancy Boisvert is a Certified Executor Advisor and founder of NEXsteps, a Canadian estate planning and executor support practice based in Calgary, Alberta. She's acted as an executor, a power of attorney and a medical representative herself, and that experience shapes all of her work.
Nancy created NEXsteps because she saw firsthand how unprepared most people are when they're named executor, and how little plain-language Canadian guidance there is. She wrote this book to give executors that guidance.
