Estate Organizer for Single Adults in Ontario
Your digital death book, written with single adults without children in mind — kept in the same Vault as your will.
What single adults without children should know
- With no spouse or children, your executor may be a friend or a sibling who knows little about your affairs — the record you leave is what they work from.
- Name your executor and trusted contacts, and link them to the records they will need.
- Record the digital assets no one else knows exist — email, photos, domains, crypto.
- List the subscriptions your executor should cancel.
- You may deposit a will or codicil for safekeeping with a Superior Court registrar. During your lifetime it can be deposited by you, someone you authorize in writing, certain lawyers or representatives holding wills, a trust corporation representative, or someone authorized by court order. The affidavit of execution may be deposited at the same time. Source: Estates Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. E.21, s. 2; Rules of Civil Procedure, R.R.O. 1990, Reg. 194, r. 74.02(1)-(7.2).
