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.

List of documents and useful information for your heirs

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,
• list of your real estate abroad,
• list of your movable property in Canada,
• list of your movable property abroad,
• list of banks in which you have an account and account numbers,
• lists of debts,
• list of your computer codes,
• list of your investments,
• list of your holdings in companies and the relevant documents such as a shareholders’ agreement, for example,
• list and location of your safety deposit boxes,
