Brian B. French, Founder and future owners of EstateSettlement.com

Inspiration in creating this web site:

After having over 25 years experience in working with trust and estates as a bank trust officer I was faced with the arduous task of settling my own mother's and father's estate. I was shocked to see so few readily available resources to help people during this grief stricken time. This site was created to change all that ! ...and is dedicated to Roy and Isabelle French (their photo's are is in the animated picture frame above).
