The End of Life Organizer for Canadians — Digital Edition (PDF)

The book your family picks up on the day they suddenly need to know everything.

The complete 218-page organizer as a PDF, page for page identical to the paperback — 8.5 × 11, and printable at home. Your copy is watermarked to you, and downloads immediately after purchase.

Not a will, not a journal — a twelve-tab organizer where you write down what exists, where it is kept, and who to call: documents, accounts, policies, property, the people who depend on you, and where the access instructions live. 88 full-page records, each with a stable reference code, designed to be completed with nothing but a pen.

• Twenty minutes of protection before anything else. The four-pass design starts with a single page — the nine things another person would need in the first few hours — and gives you permission to stop there. Everything after it is marked honestly: Essential, Recommended, If applicable, or Optional.

• Facts, not a memory book. Stories and personal messages get one optional tab at the back, about 4% of the book. The other eleven tabs are for the information your family will actually stand at a counter and need.

• Written for the nine common-law provinces — British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador — including a table of what your legal documents are actually called where you live. Quebec and the territories work differently, and the book says so plainly rather than blurring it.

• Security is a design rule, not a warning label. No page asks for a password, a PIN, or a complete card or Social Insurance Number — ever. The book records where things are kept, never the way in.

• Kept current online. Codes printed in the book lead to a companion page — no account, no email address — carrying the half of the job that changes too fast for print: registering a death, telling the government and the CRA, platform legacy tools, and printable continuation sheets when a record needs more room.

Reference facts verified as of September 2026, with a dated record of anything that moves.
