Liquidation of an estate is a demanding job. Just as you might have planned ahead and made a will (preferably notarized) and made funeral pre-arrangements, you could also prepare a list of documents and information to help your heirs with your estate.

Here is a list of documents and information that could be useful to your heirs:
- your holographic will or will made in the presence of witnesses if you have not made a notarized will
- list of your real estate in Canada,
