NoticeConnect®

NoticeConnect is a simple, cost effective and court-approved platform for publishing and accessing legal notices online. The platform is trusted by lawyers, trustees, banks, and government to reduce both legal liability as well as estate trustee liability. In 2017, the Superior Court confirmed that publishing a notice to creditors on NoticeConnect entitles an estate trustee to the liability protection afforded the Trustee Act. The NoticeConnect integration within Estate-a-Base makes it even easier to post that notice that you might have thought twice about posting in the past.
