After a death: structured management, with evidence, milestones, and clear deliverables.
VALORA helps you transform an estate into a well-managed file: secure access, exportable inventory, documented decisions, disposal or storage as needed, and a consolidated final report.
What you are experiencing is normal: too many tasks, too many unknowns
After a death, everything happens at once: access to housing, documents, assets, decisions among family members, lease or sale deadlines, and sometimes a difficult emotional context. VALORA’s objective is to reduce improvisation and grey areas through a simple method: evidence, milestones, documented decisions.
Frequent Issues
Uncertain access (keys, codes, authorized persons)
Dispersed assets and difficult-to-estimate volume
Disagreements (sell/donate/destroy/store)
Time pressure (lease, sale, relocation)
How we work: execution by milestones
We proceed step by step. Each milestone produces a deliverable and clarifies the necessary decisions before moving to the next stage. When authorization is missing (e.g., donations/destruction), the case is paused until instructions are received to avoid irreversible actions.
What you receive: clear and traceable deliverables
A major part of VALORA’s value lies in producing structured deliverables that reduce grey areas and facilitate coordination between family members and professionals.
Examples
Key register and access log
Exportable inventory (CSV/XLSX)
Indexed photo album (timestamped photos)
Disposal reports (with approvals and supporting documents)
Consolidated final report
Two rules: evidence first, decisions second
Each step concludes with a deliverable. When authorization or a decision is missing (e.g., donations/destruction), the case is paused until instructions are received. This prevents irreversible actions and disputes.
What this implies
An identified decision-maker (often the executor)
Documented approvals for sensitive actions
Clear disbursement thresholds (no significant expense without agreement)
Ready to clarify the mandate?
Option 1 — Assessment Call (recommended)
15 minutes to understand your situation and propose a plan.
Option 2 — Qualifying Form
You briefly describe the location, urgency, and volume.
Are you working with a notary or lawyer?
VALORA can coordinate and deliver a standardized file. If your notary or lawyer has specific format requirements, we adapt the deliverables (within reason) to facilitate integration.
FAQ
Can you intervene only for the inventory?
Yes. The mandate is flexible: one or more steps, depending on needs.
Can you act quickly?
We schedule milestones as soon as access and the decision-maker are clear. Some steps depend on authorizations and decisions from the parties.
How do you avoid conflicts?
By documenting: access, timestamped photos, exportable inventory, approvals, disposal reports.
Who should give instructions?
The authorized person (often the executor). During the assessment, we specify who decides and how approvals will be granted.
What do you do with valuable assets?
We apply an access control and documentation protocol. The scope is defined before action.
How much does it cost?
$160/hr/person + disbursements at actual cost plus management fees. We work by milestones, with a range based on assumptions.
Do you manage the sale of the house?
We can coordinate the preparation and marketing based on the mandate and stakeholders (e.g., broker). The scope is defined at the outset.
In which regions do you operate?
Montreal, Laval, Montérégie, Laurentides, and Lanaudière.
