The Hudson Financial Assessment™
Goal:
To aid the client in determining and executing the best financial solution from the date of loss to the date of settlement and to open an RDSP to begin capturing government contributions ASAP.
This service is covered under the SABS and in most cases we have recovered the cost for the client within the first year. Once we have assessed the client’s situation and provided a roadmap to the best solution, we stay on to assist and to advise and to field the financial questions so that the legal and care teams don’t have to. Furthermore, our report to the client is protected by PIPEDA and cannot be requested by the defense.
