Christine Brunsden

Founder of Trusted Legacy Consulting (TLC) Corporation

Established in 2019, Trusted Legacy Consulting (TLC) Corporation is one of the first boutique legacy consulting firms in Canada to provide unbiased, fee-based estate planning services that are uniquely tailored for an individual's situation. We work with individuals and clients of legal, accounting, financial and insurance advisors to help them find the best solutions for their situation and provide a comparison of providers, allowing our clients to choose the one they are most comfortable with. Think of us as the estate and trust advisor that is not attached to any one provider and does not manage assets or sell insurance. We will often act as a no-fee broker to connect our clients with donor-advised fund providers, and fiduciary and foundation administration services. Our mission is to evolve estate planning from a technical conversation about wealth, insurance and taxes that most people avoid having to a conversation about core values, living well, aging well and leaving behind the legacy you intentionally envision, build, communicate and live throughout your life.

Credit Information

Is this course eligible for my CPD requirements as a Canadian CPA?

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.

Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.

    Twp modules that were the most relevant and "thought provoking" for me. They addressed my social media presence and use of technology in my daily life (when I am gone), along with the thoughts and considerations needed for health decisions when you cannot speak for yourself. Although the education associated with the CPCA designation provides a worthwhile service, I thought the presenter was self serving and I was irritated by him and his co host.
