For Ontario families after a loss
When someone dies, there are dozens of things that need to happen — and nobody teaches you what they are. Closure walks you through them, one at a time, in the order that matters. Free. Always.
The tasks after a death don't all come at once. Pick where you are — we'll show you what matters today and what can wait until next week.
Securing the home, getting a medical certificate of death, reaching a funeral director, notifying immediate family. The things that have to happen before anything else can.
Getting the Ontario death certificate, Service Canada notifications, contacting their bank, finding the will, locating their lawyer. Steady progress without panic.
Estate administration, probate if needed, cancelling subscriptions, closing online accounts, filing the final tax return. The long tail of things you didn't know existed.
A full estate is hundreds of tasks. Closure asks where you are today — just-happened, first week, weeks later — and surfaces only what needs to happen next. The rest waits until it's relevant.
Just-happened, first week, or weeks later — we'll take you to the tasks that matter now.
Each task has a plain-language explanation, what you'll need, who to call, and how long it typically takes.
Your progress is saved on your device. Close the app, come back tomorrow, pick up where you left off.
"You're not behind. There is no right pace. The paperwork will still be there tomorrow, and next week, and next month. Do what you can today, and let that be enough."

If a loved one gave you a .closure file or a password-protected PDF, they took the time to organize everything you'll need — their accounts, their executor, their final wishes.
We have a step-by-step walkthrough for opening it, finding the password, and working through what's inside.
