Your executor knows where to find your will. But what about your email, your photos, your online accounts, or your crypto?

Nicole Garton breaks digital assets into 3 buckets every Canadian needs to know about:

1. Personal digital assets (email, photos, social media)
2. Financial and commercial assets (online banking, domain names, loyalty points)
3. High-risk, access-dependent assets (cryptocurrency)

That third bucket is where estates get stuck. With crypto, the problem isn't ownership. It's access. No wallet info, no recovery method, no way in.

Separated but not divorced when someone dies. What happens to the estate?

It's more complicated than most people think. Under the Family Law Act, a separated spouse may still have property division entitlements against the estate. And it works the other way too. An executor can potentially make claims against a surviving spouse.

Add bankruptcy into the mix and it gets even more layered.

John Sandrelli breaks it all down in this week's episode of Your Estate Matters.
