Emergent announces their new partnership with NoticeConnect to help executors advertise for creditors affordably. In the past, executors had been required to post a newspaper ad that gives creditors a 30-day window to make unpaid debts known to the estate. Too often, however, executors would run the risk of being liable for the deceased's bills simply because of the exorbitant cost of running an ad. But, a new day has dawned. Now, by leveraging the power of the Internet, NoticeConnect uses Google and social media to publish a Notice to Creditors. Officially recognized by the Ontario Superior Court as a viable replacement for expensive newspaper ads, the convenient option has a threefold advantage. It not only reduces costs considerably, but it also comes with a further discount for Emergent customers thanks to its integration into the company's Estate Administration software program.

Adding her expertise in the field of wills and estates, the distinguished Karon Bales joins Emergent as a content contributor for their software program. With good news for Ontario practitioners, Bales has partnered with Emergent to share her precedents as a feature of the Estate Planning & Vault Manager's Annual Subscription.

Emergent announces the launch of expertly revised precedents for clients in Alberta from STEP member, Karon Bales. The document creation and file management software company has joined forces with one of Calgary's most affluent estate planning services to bring this new feature to Albertans. To do so, MacMillan Estate Planning has reviewed each one of Bales' precedents recently launched for Ontario-based clients. Their strategic modifications have made the skillfully drawn precedents applicable to the laws of Alberta. At the ready for high-caliber precedent content accessible for free through an annual subscription, Emergent Estate Planning & Vault Manager brings a new resource to the fore.

Created to help capture the lost revenue law firms could get from regularly updating their clients' wills and powers of attorney, Emergent announces an easy and automated solution. Integrated within Emergent's Estate Planning & Vault Manager software program, the new feature automatically identifies specific clauses contained in Wills, Powers of Attorney, Representation Agreements, Personal Directives or Enduring Powers of Attorney. Within minutes, users can easily identify areas where changes are needed and write a personalized letter to clients suggesting they have their Will updated.

Emergent announces the results of a recent study conducted on their WindUp Estate Accounting & Tax software program. The study reported a 70% reduction in the time it takes to do accounting work by executors or trustees. Helping to keep track of their assets, liabilities and investments and their distribution, Emergent's WindUp Estate accounting & Tax software is highly adept at balancing estate accounts. Designed to take the distress out of disposing of all liabilities and bestowing assets in accordance with the wishes of the deceased, WindUp uses a court passing format. Now executors can have confidence when placing their work in front of a judge for confirmation of accuracy. And it does it in one-fourth of the time.

Emergent announces its newest feature to their Estate Administration software. Designed to streamline forms like an application for probate and various affidavits for Canadian provinces, the automation software is now applicable in a larger region. Emergent's software program now includes updated forms for Saskatchewan, British Columbia, and Alberta in addition to Ontario, and Nova Scotia. Making for efficiency that translates into a firm's increased revenue, the software contains all the mergeable forms necessary to complete the deceased's estate.

Estate Administration just got easier for law firms already using Emergent's Estate Planning & Vault Manager software. The company recently announced the launch of their most simplistic feature yet. Designed to merge information into the Estate Administration side of the software, law firms need only enter the date of death for the deceased. From there, the software will merge all documentation needed to complete the process from the application for probate, to an affidavit for beneficiaries, to other administrative tasks.

Starting with the estimation of a $22,500 savings a year in administrative costs, Emergent reports a win/win for law firms. Garnering ecstatic reviews from users of the Corporate Manager ET solution, Emergent says clients are cutting costs and raising profit 70% on annuals. Typically seen as a thirty-minute process per entity that can tally up to five hundred hours for a thousand annuals, Corporate Manager ET takes a better tact. It cuts time to seconds by batching annuals while legal fees remain the same.

Emergent announces a new and advanced way to manage and file minutes virtually with the Legal Kiosk™ cloud launch. Always staying at the forefront of innovation, the company has employed the newest technology so customers can keep corporate records and share documents simply. Thanks to Emergent's foresight and the invaluable cloud, corporations, and law firms can now access each entity's Virtual Minute Book on any device via the world's most popular browsers.

On the side of legal firms and their tireless administrative staffs, Emergent now offers another time-saving game changer. The new Wills Intake feature for the already comprehensive Estate Planning & Vault Manager is now on tap to cut customized will preparation time. Used for wills, mirror wills, and overall estate planning, the new add-on allows information already entered into the software program to generate all necessary documents. Enter information once, add proprietary precedents, choose the documents needed, merge, and print. Could a custom will be simpler?
