Alice Croft

Alice is a paralegal on the Touchstone Team, focused primarily on estate administration, with additional work on related real estate, representation, and guardianship matters. She brings more than 40 years of paralegal experience, including abundant first-hand knowledge of estate administration and real estate transactions.

Known for going above and beyond for our clients, Alice is friendly, conscientious, and understanding of clients’ sensitive needs.

Alice grew up in Pleasant Valley, near Upper Musquodoboit, in a large family of 11.

After graduating with honours from Business Administration, Alice began her career at a trust company in Truro in 1982 before moving into the legal field. She later worked in Dartmouth, joined Jessica Lyle at a prior firm, and became part of the Touchstone Team in January 2020. Her 20 years of part-time work in a psychiatric setting also strengthened her ability to support estate administration clients through difficult times.

Alice has served on the boards of the Freedom Foundation of Nova Scotia and the Canadian Association of Legal Support Staff, and she continues to volunteer and fundraise in her community.

A proud mother and grandmother, Alice enjoys time with her family, her dog Annibelle-Margaret, and her cat Franklyn Oliver. Her interests include genealogy, writing, and gardening. Two of her favourite quotes are: “It’s a great day to be alive” and “Don’t let the green grass fool you.”  Alice considers herself to be Elvis’ number one fan!
