Aftercare & Estate Closure Support

After a death, there are often important tasks to complete—paperwork, benefits, notifications, and account updates. This support is commonly called aftercare (also known as estate closure).

Estate Closure Overview

Estate closure refers to the administrative steps that follow a loved one’s passing. This can include legal, financial, and government-related tasks to settle the estate and ensure obligations are properly handled.

Who Is Responsible For Estate Closure

Estate closure is typically handled by:

  • The executor named in the will (Estate Trustee), or
  • A court-appointed administrator, or
  • If neither exists, the next of kin

We work with the person legally responsible to keep the process clear and organized.

Common Aftercare Steps

  • Completing required forms and authorizations
  • Funeral Director’s Proof of Death Certificates for financial and legal matters (standard set of 12)
  • CPP guidance (CPP Death Benefit and CPP Survivor’s Benefit), where applicable
  • Guidance on notifications to help prevent overpayments (e.g., OAS/CPP)
  • Handling estate closure items (accounts, subscriptions, memberships, points programs)
  • Veterans notifications (Last Post / Veterans Affairs), when applicable

Optional Support Through Peacehold

For more complex estate tasks, we offer an optional service through our partner Peacehold, which may help with items such as:

  • Foreign pension providers
  • Air miles / points transfers
  • Credit card cancellations
  • Other administrative steps

Ask us if Peacehold support is a fit for your situation.
