The Great Canadian Kick-the-Bucket Book: I'm Dead, Now What? — Wishes, Accounts, Passwords and Where Everything Actually Is

Written for Canadians - every province and territory, Québec included.Somebody is going to have to find all of this.Somewhere in this house is a shoebox labelled TAXES. Somewhere else, allegedly, is the will. Nobody knows the Wi-Fi password. Your cousin says the bank knows him. The bank does not. And the truck only starts if you hold the key to the right and speak kindly to it.Fill it in now, and spare the people you love the scavenger hunt later.THE FUNNY IS INSIDE THE BOOK, NOT JUST ON THE COVERMost end of life planners put one joke on the front and leave you a hundred blank lines. This one is funny where being funny costs nothing, and completely straight everywhere it matters. The boxes marked The Bit That Matters carry a real deadline, an original document, or somebody's legal authority - and there is not one joke in any of them.IT IS NOT A STACK OF BLANK PAGESA hundred and twenty large pages of write-in space for the accounts, the policies, the passwords, the paperwork - and the hundred small things only you know. Where the answer changes by province, this book says so and gives you room to write down what applies where you live.WHAT'S INSIDE- What genuinely needs doing in the first few days - and the much longer list of what can safely wait- One page per bank account, with room for twelve- Beneficiaries, insurance policies, debts, and the automatic payments that will keep going as if nothing happened- The will, the safe, the storage unit, and every key that stopped having a label years ago- Where the water shutoff is - plus passwords, subscriptions, and your entire digital ghost- What the government owes your family, and who has to be told what- What you want at the send-off, what you absolutely do not, and the song that must not be playedAND THE LAST PAGES ARE YOURS ALONEPrivate letter pages at the back, printed in the book - for the things you would want to say and never got around to writing down. No website, no code, no account to create, nothing that stops working in five years. Just paper, and not one joke on it.WHO IT IS FORAnyone who has ever thought their family would never find any of this. People quietly putting their own affairs in order. Parents who would like to spare their kids a month of phone calls.And it makes a genuinely good gift - for the parent who keeps saying they should get organised, for the friend with the dark sense of humour, for the person who has said more than once that they are not afraid of dying but they are deeply afraid of the paperwork.Large 8.5 x 11 pages, lined and labelled, with room to write like a human being rather than a mouse.It is not a will and it cannot make one. It is not legal or financial advice. It is one sensible place for the details only you can give, so that nobody has to piece your life together from unopened mail, mystery keys and increasingly desperate guesses.Everything they'll need - except you.
