Real deadlines and entitlements, checked against official sources and dated.
Fill it in on screen in an evening. Print it, update it, keep it.

The Day After a Death — My Executor Kit
The day after a death
Nobody tells you what to do.
One day, someone you love will have to deal with all of this.
1
The first days
The death has to be registered, and the rules depend on your province. Then the funeral, the certificates, and the search. Drawers, mail, a filing cabinet full of paperwork, and not one clue. Is there a will? Which bank? Which pension? All of it lost in the ether.
2
The calls and the claims
The same call, again and again. Every bank, insurer and company to tell, one by one. And every government agency too, because Canada has no single service that notifies them all. Help they could claim, with deadlines nobody mentioned. And the bills don’t wait: the funeral, the utilities, the payments still due.
3
The estate
Then the estate. Value it, file the final tax return, settle the debts, apply for probate, divide what’s left. Lawyers can charge thousands to do it for you. Do it yourself, and one mistake lands on you. And in the middle of it all, the family arguments: who does what, who was promised what. It can drag on for a year or more, and still nobody tells you what comes next.
And all of it usually lands on one person.
Words from people who had to deal with it all themselves
“it strikes me that nobody tells you what to do.”
“We were grieving and guessing all the time....”
“I just want some time to actually think about my dad instead of the paperwork”
“literally all the admin related to the death has fallen to me😫”
The Method — My Executor Kit
The method
Our method: three clear steps, in the order your family will need them
A simple, safe and effective method. Each step gathers everything that has to happen at that stage. Nothing is left to guess.
Checked against official government and court sources, and dated.
1
The First Act
Everything that follows the death itself: registering the death through the funeral director (the rules depend on your province), ordering the death certificates, the funeral (with your wishes already written down), finding the will, and naming the executor.
It spares your family:
Ordering too few death certificates
Not finding the will
Losing the very first days to paperwork, when they should be allowed to grieve
Regretting choices they had to make in your place
2
Rights & Help
How to notify every government agency, one by one: the Canada Revenue Agency, Service Canada and more, with the phone numbers and the proof each one asks for. Then a guide to everything else you need to tell: banks, mortgages, insurers, utilities and private pensions. And the financial help available, including the CPP death benefit.
It spares your family:
Endless phone calls to explain the death and close accounts
Overpayments they’d have to pay back
Forgetting a government agency nobody told them about
Missing support they were entitled to claim
3
The Estate
Valuing the estate, applying for probate through your province’s court, filing the final tax return, and obtaining the CRA clearance certificate. There is no inheritance tax in Canada, but the deceased’s capital gains are taxed on the final return. Then settling the debts and dividing what is left, in the right order.
It spares your family:
Handing out the estate before the clearance certificate, and being personally liable for unpaid tax
Missing the final tax return deadline
A tax bill nobody saw coming, on investments or a second property
A distribution that drags on for months, or years
Fill it in once. Then your family just follows the steps.
Easy to complete, easy to follow, with real human support and free updates for life.
Easy to fill in
Open it the moment you pay. Fill it in on screen, or print it. Set aside one evening for the essentials, and update it whenever you like.
Easy to follow
Every section tells you what to write, and where. No jargon, no legal training needed.
A real person to help
Real, human support, Monday to Saturday, 9am to 5pm ET, by email. Any question about filling it in, or about what comes next.
Free updates for life
Every time a law changes, you receive the updated version straight away. And once a year, we review the whole kit to keep it up to date and send it to you. All completely free, for life.
You’re not alone in wanting to make things easier for your loved ones

“Excellent organizational planner that EVERYONE should have. Once you’ve passed away, you are of no help to your executor in finding documents, password, or anything else. This will make their job SOOOO much easier and the whole process of closing out someone’s life will go much smoother”

With / Without Our Method — My Executor Kit
Losing someone is always hard. We lighten what we can
Our 3 steps
Without our method
With our method
1The First Act
Drawers turned out, looking for a will that may not even exist.
Where your will is kept, written down.
Funeral choices made in your place, and regretted.
Your funeral wishes, written down.
2Rights & Help
The same call, again and again, to explain the death and close accounts.
Every government agency and company to contact, in one checklist.
Payments and support missed, because nobody mentioned the deadlines.
The payments and support they may be entitled to, claimed in time.
3The Estate
Arguments over who was promised what.
Everything already written down.
Missed tax deadlines, interest and penalties, and a process that drags on for months.
Final tax return filed on time, clearance certificate in hand, and the steps followed in order.
“Couldn’t I just write it all down, or ask an AI?”
You could. They’d get there in the end, after months of calls, forms and guesswork. But a list only says what exists. They also need what to do, who to tell, and by when. And AI tools can get details wrong, or give rules that are out of date. Ours are checked against official sources, dated, and backed by a real person.
Not sure? You have 30 days. Money-back guarantee.
Someone will have to do everything else. Make it lighter for them.
Losing someone is always hard. A little of your time now means your family can spend their first days with each other, not with the paperwork.
No — it’s much more than a place to write things down. It’s a structured kit that brings together the essential information your family will need when you die, alongside a comprehensive executor’s guide covering legal obligations, key deadlines, and how to use that information to manage the practical steps that follow. You’re not just leaving information behind — you’re helping your family understand what to do with it.
Yes. A will sets out who inherits your estate, but it doesn’t give your executor everything they need to manage what comes next. My Executor Kit brings together essential information, documents and wishes, alongside a comprehensive executor’s guide covering legal obligations, key deadlines and the practical steps involved in settling an estate. Your will and the kit work together — one doesn’t replace the other.
Estate rules in Canada differ from one province to another, so the kit includes province-by-province guidance on the points that vary, such as probate, deadlines and court procedures. It also includes practical examples drawn from a wide range of real-life situations, helping you understand how the guidance applies in practice. And if you’re unsure how to complete a section for your circumstances, our human support team is available 6 days a week, from 9 am to 5 pm ET, to help.
Of course — but creating a document is one thing; knowing what to include, keeping the information up to date, and guiding your family through what comes next is another.
My Executor Kit is checked against official government and court sources, and dated, and combines regularly updated information with a practical, step-by-step guide to help your loved ones navigate the legal obligations, deadlines and practical tasks involved in settling an estate. And if you need help applying the guidance to your own situation, qualified human support is available 6 days a week, from 9 am to 5 pm ET.
You’re not just paying for a place to record information. You’re giving your family a clearer path through an otherwise difficult process.
No. It’s a digital product delivered by email, so you can get started straight away. Fill in the PDF on your computer using compatible software, save your completed copy, or print it if you prefer a paper version.
30-day money-back guarantee on every kit. No questions asked, just an email.
You’re not expected to figure everything out on your own. If you need help understanding a question or completing a section for your situation, our human support team is available 6 days a week, from 9 am to 5 pm ET, to help.
