Public Trustee
From finiki
Each province in Canada has a Public Trustee, which oversees the finances of those who cannot act for themselves and where no else can act, such as a deceased person, intestate and with no known relatives. The Public Trustee acts as an executor of last resort.
The law generally empowers Public Trustees to oversee the financial affairs of minors as well.
