Estates, Trusts & Court-Appointed Services

In certain situations, an independent professional is needed to take control, preserve assets, administer responsibilities, and report impartially. This may arise where parties are in conflict, where no appropriate person has authority to act, or where a court requires a disciplined officer to protect assets and provide reliable reporting. Albert Gelman Inc. is equipped to assist with these sensitive appointments. As federally licensed professionals and experienced court officers, we bring objectivity and practical judgment to circumstances that require independence and accountability.

Roles We Accept

• Court-appointed receiver and manager under the Courts of Justice Act.
• Liquidator, inspector, or similar role in corporate wind-ups under applicable corporate legislation.
• Trustee under applicable construction lien legislation.
• Substitute trustee of a deceased estate, where an independent trustee is needed to administer and preserve estate assets.
• Trustee of a family trust, where a neutral and qualified trustee is required.
• Litigation guardian or other independent representative where appropriate and authorized by the court.

What We Do and How We Help

We take control of and safeguard assets, help maintain business or estate continuity where required, communicate impartially with stakeholders, and report transparently to the court and the parties. We are especially well-suited to appointments involving operating businesses, complex financial affairs, or sensitive stakeholder dynamics, where commercial judgment and careful administration are both essential.

Courts and counsel need appointees who are independent, experienced, and capable of acting with discipline. We bring senior judgment, clear reporting, and a right-sized approach that keeps appointments focused and efficient. Our experience across both corporate and personal matters is a practical advantage where an estate, trust, or company has significant business interests.
