For Canadian families
A complete, fill-in-the-blanks workbook for your accounts, passwords, wishes and final instructions, so the people you love aren't left guessing during the hardest week of their lives.
The plan
The Organiser carries the whole path your executor walks, in the order they meet it. Every step below is already written out in the book, and the first stage is in the free Executor Toolkit.
STAGE 1
Secure · Notify · Record
Without a planThe will found too late, one certified copy ordered when six were needed, valuables unrecorded.
STAGE 2
Notify · Claim · Protect
Without a planThe death re-explained on call after call, an old registered plan never claimed, an account frozen while the bills keep arriving.
STAGE 3
Settle · Account · Distribute
Without a planEstate distributed too early and a creditor turns up, personal money mixed with estate money, records nobody can reconstruct.
Whether probate is required, where you apply and how long it takes all vary from province to province, and every estate is different. The Organiser points your executor to the right professional at each step rather than guessing on their behalf.
The gap
No bank, no plan provider and no government department is in charge of joining them up. That job lands on the people you love, in the middle of their grief.
It names who inherits. It does not tell anyone where the accounts are, what the passwords are, or what you wanted. Your executor can hold a valid will and still have no idea where to start.
In the Organiser: where the will is kept, who the executor is, and the message written to them.
In common-law provinces an RRSP, RRIF or TFSA is generally paid to the beneficiary named on the account, outside the will. Quebec works differently. Either way, that form is the classic set-and-forget, and most families have never checked it.
In the Organiser: every plan, every policy and the beneficiary named on each, in one list.
Accounts, insurance, the mortgage, the utilities, the digital life. Each one is held by a different organisation, each with its own process, and none of them will call your family first.
In the Organiser: every account, every login, how the home is held, and who to contact for each.
The math is simple
$1,500 to $3,000+
Typical range. Estimate only.
Worth it for the legal documents. But a lawyer won't write down where your accounts and passwords live, or what you actually want. That part is on you.
$149 CAD
Printed and digital, one time. Or $79 for the digital edition on its own.
The place to put everything your lawyer's documents don't capture, so your executor isn't left playing detective. Start tonight, finish over a few weeks.
The Estate Organiser is a record-keeping tool. It is not a Will and it is not legal or financial advice. It sits alongside the documents your lawyer prepares. A full estate planning package from a lawyer is commonly quoted around $1,500 to $3,000+. Estimate for illustration only. Fees vary by province, by firm and by how complex your affairs are, so ask your own lawyer for a quote.
What's inside
Forty-seven sections. Each one exists because of something that goes wrong when it isn't written down.
Banking, RRSPs, pensions, insurance, investments, property, debts, gathered so nothing sits unclaimed.
Without it: an old registered plan nobody knew about, never claimed.
Email, phone, computer, online banking, cloud storage, social media, the logins your family would otherwise be locked out of forever.
Without it: subscriptions still billing, photos locked away for good.
Funeral preferences, organ donation, pets, personal items, messages to loved ones, decisions they shouldn't have to make while grieving.
Without it: the funeral argued over, because nobody was sure.
No legal terminology, no assumed knowledge. Written for real people who want to protect their families, not lawyers drafting contracts.
Without it: a document nobody finishes, which helps nobody.
Designed around RRSPs, CPP and how Canadian estates actually work, not adapted from a foreign template.
Without it: instructions written for a country you don't live in.
It's a document you fill in on your own computer or print at home. Nothing lives in the cloud for anyone to breach. You're in control.
Without it: your whole financial life sitting on someone else's server.
Already in the book, never mentioned until now
Part IX of the Organiser is a working kit for whoever has to do the admin. It is finished, printed and sitting in every copy sold.
Seven written letters with the blanks left for names and dates: the bank, the retirement savings provider, Service Canada, the employer, the insurer, the utility provider and the municipality. Each one asks that organisation for the right thing, in the right words, plus a general template for everyone else.
Without it: the same sentence written out from scratch, seven different ways, while grieving.
A list of every organisation that needs notifying, from banks and RRSP providers through to Elections Canada, the provincial health plan, a Canada Post redirect and the CRA, with space to log the date sent, whether they replied, and what still needs chasing.
Without it: two people ringing the same bank, and nobody ringing the pension provider.
Date, description, who was paid, how much, which account it came from and whether there is a receipt. The record that protects an executor from being asked, a year later, where the money went.
Without it: personal money mixed with estate money, and no way to prove it.
The pitfalls executors actually fall into, each with what the mistake looks like and how to avoid it. Distributing before CRA clearance. Paying debts in the wrong order. Mixing personal and estate funds. Going quiet on the beneficiaries.
Without it: learning each one the expensive way.
A look inside
Forty-seven sections, already laid out. You fill in what applies, ten quiet minutes at a time.

Questions
A will says who inherits. It doesn't tell anyone where your accounts are, what your passwords are, which registered plans exist, or what you wanted for your funeral. Your executor can be holding a perfectly valid will and still have no idea where to start. The Organiser is the document that sits beside the will and answers all of that. The two do different jobs.
Some of it is, and where a government service is the right answer the book points you at it. What no government site does is put your accounts, your passwords, your plans, your wishes and your contacts into one document your family can pick up and follow. The information is scattered across a dozen departments by design. The Organiser is the one place it all comes together, in your handwriting.
It matters more, not less. A large estate usually comes with a lawyer and an accountant already involved. A modest one is the one where a forgotten account, a joint account or a missing password does real damage, and where there is no professional standing by to sort it out. The Organiser is for the family that has to do it themselves.
Most people say the opposite once they start. It stops being about dying somewhere around the second page and becomes about tidying up: the accounts you forgot, the subscription still billing, the plan from a job two decades ago. Readers describe finishing it as a relief. It is a practical afternoon, not a sad one.
No. One payment, once. No account to log into, no renewal, no annual fee. Updates to the document are yours to keep.
Most people work through it over a few weeks, not a weekend, one section at a time, when you've got the energy. There's no rush, and you can save and come back any time.
No. It is big because it covers a whole life, and you have had a lot of life. But not every section applies to everyone. Every section carries a “not for me” tick, and the contents page keeps track. Some sections take a while, some take a minute, some you never open. What matters is that every section you could need is in there.
Yes. It's a file you fill in on your own computer, or print and fill in by hand. Nothing is stored online or in anyone's cloud, so there's nothing to be breached. Where you keep it is entirely up to you.
No, and that's by design. The Estate Organiser is a place to record your information and wishes. It isn't a Will, and it doesn't replace your lawyer or accountant. It simply makes sure that when your family needs those professionals, they can find everything fast. Rules vary across Canadian provinces and territories, so confirm the specifics with your own advisors.
Yes. It's about gathering your accounts, passwords, documents and wishes in one place, which matters everywhere. Where province-specific steps come up, it points you to the right professional rather than guessing for you.
Three files, delivered instantly: the digital fillable PDF, a printable edition, and the individual chapters so you can print just what you need. Updates are yours to keep.
Each printed copy is made just for you. Allow up to two weeks anywhere in Canada. If you choose Printed + Digital, the digital edition lands in your inbox straight away, so you can start the same day.
The Printed + Digital option includes both, and that is the one most people choose. The Printed Edition on its own is just the book.
We replace it free. Just reply to your order email with a photo and a new copy goes to print.
