A new digital approach

New Digital Approach

The estate bonding application process needs an update. The current process is often a never-ending cycle of documentation that is frustrating for both lawyers and their clients.

The NEW Digital Estate Bonding Process

Our NEW Digital Estate Bonding platform reduces bond administration to five steps. The intuitive application provides more complete answers and a seamless process for all parties.

1. Digital Application

Once logged in, legal admins answer form questions and complete the online application. The broker advisor is alerted, and the law team may now engage the executor via the web app.

2. Broker Advisor Review

The broker advisor reviews the application. They will give immediate preferred pricing or, for the more complicated bonds, send it off for full underwriting

3. Underwriting

The insurance provider advises the broker on bond pricing. The final bond documents and any other supporting documents are provided for signature.

4. Lawyer Sign-Off

Final documents and signature requirements are sent to the law team for e-signature. These are automatically returned to the broker advisor for final review and issuance of the bond.

5. Bond Deliver

The broker advisor provides the signed and stamped bond to the law team. These are sent by email or courier based on the requirements of the provincial probate courts.
