Make it a simple step by step process. “Hi, my brother died very recently in a small village outside of Edmonton.  I am not in the same province, plan on going early January with my sister.  We don't know if he has a will, insurance or anything, or who he has listed as next of kin; he's ex military, lived much like a hermit due to alcohol and mental health issues.  We were in touch by phone, no animosity, it's just how he lived.

I dont even know where to start, our parents are too old to deal with anything.  I feel the first thing we need to do is organize his cremation, and get to his house and look for paperwork to find lawyer info or anything.  We are worried about his house being ransacked, dont care about possessions but want his paperwork, he doesn't do anything online, has no computer.

His neighbour has a key, we don't know him but he said he'd keep an eye on the house.  He ¹had a girlfriend there and they did not live together; we dont know her, dont know if she is trustworthy.  We aren't out for money as he probably doesn't have much, he has a son he's never met that lives quite far away, who wanted nothing to do with him; if he left it all to him that's awesome but things need to be done, we do hope to be reciprocated as we both can't really afford this, flights, hotel, car rental, not to mention the cremation.  Our Dad can help some but he doesn't have tonnes of money either, out mom is in long-term care.

I don't know his Social insurance number, don't know if our Dad has it;  I moved him recently and there may be info at his house still but that is also quite a ways away and I won't be able to get there before I go to Alberta.

So at a loss, we just want to do what is right but don't even know know where to start. How do we get death certificate if we can't prove we're his sisters? What a fricken' mess. 😔

I am so touched from all the replies! It's been such a hard few days and my emotional are all over the board.  I am trying to reply to all. Thank you all so much. 💙

I didn't change my user name so if anyone recognizes this because of the circumstances, um, hi  👋”
