Life happens. What happens to everything you’ve built, if no one knows where to look?

    Not lost.
    Just undiscovered.

    The average Canadian estate takes 12+ months and 500 hours to settle — most of it spent searching.
    $1.44B sits unclaimed across 3.4M Canadian accounts.

    Your family deserves a map, not a scavenger hunt.

    Building for Canadian families — and the advisors who serve them.

      Built for the moment
      everything needs to be found.

      Life doesn't come with a playbook for what happens when someone suddenly has to step in and manage everything you've built.

      In those moments, the biggest challenge isn't a lack of assets — it's a lack of clarity. Financial information is often scattered across accounts, documents, emails, and memory. What seems obvious to one person can be incredibly difficult for someone else to piece together. The result is confusion, delays, and unnecessary stress when it matters most.

      clarife is being built to change that.

      We're creating a secure, structured way to organize your financial life into a clear, usable map — so that loved ones, executors, and advisors can find what they need and act with confidence during life's most critical moments.

      We're currently in the early stages of building clarife and working closely with individuals, families, and advisors to understand real-world challenges and design a solution that truly helps.

      If this resonates with you, we'd love for you to be part of the journey.

      Check Your Readiness

      Common myths, answered plainly.

      The reasons people feel prepared — and why those reasons often aren't enough.

      A will tells people who gets your assets — it cannot tell them where those assets are. If your executor doesn't know about a bank account, an RRSP, or a life insurance policy, those assets may never be found or claimed. A will is a legal instruction. It is not a map.
      Beneficiary designations only work if the right people know those accounts exist. If your family doesn't know an account exists, they'll never know to claim it — and those funds can sit unclaimed indefinitely. Your executor and your beneficiaries are often different people, running separate processes. Without a clear picture of what exists, money falls through the cracks.
      Knowing a password gets someone into an account — it doesn't tell them what accounts exist in the first place. If your spouse has never heard of an investment account or an old pension, no password helps. Access is not the same as knowledge.
      Paper gets lost, goes out of date, or simply isn't found when it's needed most. If your family doesn't know which drawer to open — or which version is current — it's as if those notes never existed. Information that isn't findable isn't useful.
      Estate complexity isn't about how much you have — it's about how scattered it is. Someone with three bank accounts, an RRSP, a life insurance policy, and a pension can have a harder-to-settle estate than someone with a single large portfolio. If you own anything, owe anything, or love someone — this matters.
      What if you both pass at the same time? What if your spouse becomes ill before you do? Knowing roughly where things are is not the same as having the account numbers, institutions, and policy details — all under grief, on a deadline. 'My spouse knows' is a plan that depends on your spouse being present and well.
      Banks don't proactively search for or disclose accounts. They respond only to direct, documented requests — and only for accounts they are specifically asked about. If your family doesn't know an account exists, they will never know to ask. Billions in unclaimed assets in Canada exist for exactly this reason.
      You're not alone — most executors start with a list of questions, not a list of accounts. The good news: most of what hasn't surfaced yet is simply undiscovered, waiting in old statements, email inboxes, safe-deposit boxes, and the memories of people close to them. Start with the mailbox (paper and email), the last two years of tax returns, and a written list of every institution they ever mentioned by name — that becomes your map. If you'd like a structured place to capture what you find as you go, clarife is built for exactly this.
