Meet Katie Lawrenson, our General Manager: Operations.

Her day-to-day role involves a little bit of everything — from project and team management to supporting the wider Fennec team wherever needed. In a small, dynamic business, that means no two days are ever quite the same.

Katie believes that people like to do business with people, and that respect and kindness go a long way in building strong relationships with both colleagues and clients.

One of the things she enjoys most about Fennec is the freedom to try new ideas, learn from what works and what doesn't, and have the support of a team that backs one another.

And her superhero power of choice? Teleportation, so she could explore the world and everything it has to offer.

We're proud to have Katie as part of the Fennec team.

Deceased Estate Administration is not a single task. It is a complex process involving multiple responsibilities, stakeholders and deadlines.

Executors and estate professionals must manage documentation, communicate with beneficiaries and institutions, monitor outstanding actions and maintain a clear view of each estate’s progress, all while supporting families through sensitive circumstances.

When this information is managed manually or spread across emails, spreadsheets and paper files, it can become difficult to identify what has been completed, what remains outstanding and who is responsible for the next step.

Structured digital processes help firms:

• Centralise estate information and documentation
• Track responsibilities, actions and deadlines
• Maintain a clear record of communication
• Monitor the progress of each estate
• Improve visibility across the administration process

Technology does not replace fiduciary expertise. It provides the structure and visibility professionals need to manage complex estate matters more effectively.

Lorain Venter plays an important role in translating client requirements into clear, prioritised and achievable development work.

Working closely with developers, she helps define implementation specifications, clarify functionality and ensure that developments and fixes align with client needs. When an error or user complaint arises, Lorain investigates the symptoms, tests possible causes and identifies the root of the problem before specifying a practical solution.

What drew her to Estate Administration is the complexity of deceased estates and the important role a properly drafted will plays in supporting a smoother administration process. She believes one of the biggest misconceptions is that administering an estate is quick and easy.

Dedication, responsibility and perseverance guide Lorain in her work. She particularly enjoys the freedom to approach development creatively while working within legal parameters and client requirements.

If she could choose a superhero’s abilities, she would select Marvel’s Spiral, because a few extra arms would certainly help when everything happens at once!

We're proud to have Lorain as part of the Fennec team.
