What is ExecutorNotes?
ExecutorNotes provides a facility for individuals to record their wishes related to the details of their funeral arrangements and communicate key details of other required ongoing transactions and financial activities to their executor and family.
"I'm so relieved."
I signed up for ExecutorNotes without much time to work on it, but I felt it was really important to complete. I carved out some quiet moments and documented what I wanted for arrangements and even made a little video message. It's something I don't WANT to think about, but it's important to sort out now, so others don't have to later.
It feels great to be so organized!

"Inspired me to get our records organized."
I am grateful to you for bringing this product to my attention. We are approaching retirement age and this is exactly what we need. ExecutorNotes has inspired me to get our records organized. That is a blessing now and will certainly help our executors after we are gone.

Rob Carrick's November 30, 2021 article in the Globe and Mail describes the "awkward financial topic" your family should discuss this holiday season in regards to executorship.
David E. Edey wrote a book called, "Executor Help: how to settle an estate, pick an Executor and Avoid Family Fights."
The book covers how to handle your grief, goals of being an executor, what you need to know, administrative duties, what to do if there's a business, and the 50 most common executor questions answered.

Why I decided to share
ExecutorNotes with the public
We developed ExecutorNotes after my Brother Graham died in 2020. He had dementia and had made no preparation for his death, except to appoint my sister with power of attorney.
That means when he died we were faced with the challenge of arranging his funeral and sorting out his estate with no guidance. We planned a successful virtual funeral, but it was tricky to find the right readings and music. We were not sure whom to invite beyond the immediate family. He was a very particular person!
I realized that in my own life, there are many complications as I am a business owner. Along with regular estate and funeral issues, I also have to plan what would happen with the business.
I developed a series of questions that covered my guidance requirements in this process, and then realized that everyone needs to do this sort of preparation.
It is an act of consideration to help guide your family and colleagues when they are already stressed and in grief.
ExecutorNotes was born as a product that could be stored very securely, and conveniently distributed in advance to your family and friends, and of course your executor! Note that beyond the regular questions and their answers there is the ability to attach quite large documents, pictures and even short videos to the ExecutorNotes.
I hope you find it useful. I know I have!

"I can't keep procrastinating. Maybe Mom and Dad would like to sort this out too, as I am their executor. I will share the link for this site with them."

"So, how's your mom doing now?"
"She's doing a lot better thanks, but it was a scare. I had this sudden realization that if she did pass away, I wouldn't know where to begin concerning her wishes.
​It was like a test of how well I knew my mom. Her favourite music, who to deliver her eulogy, where she wanted to be buried. I never found the right time to ask her that stuff. It added so much stress to a really stressful situation.
Once she recovered, we went over ExecutorNotes together and answered all of those questions that overwhelmed me at the time.
​Now, I'm way more prepared. I have the PDF safely stored, and printed out and in my email.
​It's a big weight off my mind for when the time comes."
