Gina Vliet is the founder of Executor School, and a facilitator and speaker who makes executorship make sense. She focuses on making the role most people are handed with little warning and even less guidance, learnable.

With her Canadian certification as an Executor Advisor, education in the funeral industry, several years teaching death literacy, and more than 20 years of experience in project, change, and records management, Gina brings a practical, grounded lens to a process that is often anything but. Her work centres on making executorship understandable and manageable—clarifying roles, responsibilities, risks, and rights, delivering strategies on how to move forward with structure and confidence.

She offers learning in a variety of formats, allowing participants to actively work through what executorship involves. Her sessions are engaging and interactive, and participants leave with clearer priorities, a stronger grasp of the role, and practical next steps, regardless of where they are in the process.

Gina works with families, professionals, community groups, and organizations who want a more realistic and usable understanding of executorship.
