Integrity
We do what we say, and we’re open about what we don’t do.
About Octalin
Built from inside Alberta’s trusteeship system, for the families who carry it.
Why Octalin exists
I worked as a Public Trustee Representative with the Office of the Public Guardian and Trustee of Alberta, administering trust files for adults who could no longer manage their own affairs. I saw how the work is supposed to be done: accurate records, careful accountings and every benefit claimed.
I also saw the gap that opens when a family member is appointed in the Public Trustee’s place. They take on full legal responsibility with no training, and most legal help ends when the court order is granted.
We start where that help ends. We keep the records, prepare the financial schedules for the court, and look for benefits the adult may be missing, while the family member stays in charge of every decision and every dollar.
“We start where that help ends.”
