Questions

Questions, answered

Is this a will or a legal document?

No. It's an organizer that points your family to your documents, accounts and contacts. It isn't a will, trust, power of attorney or healthcare directive, and it isn't legal, financial or medical advice. For those documents, talk with a licensed attorney in your state.

How do I get it after I buy?

Right after checkout you'll get an email with your download link. You can also download it from the order confirmation page. Nothing is shipped.

Can I type into it on my computer?

Yes. Open it in the free Adobe Acrobat Reader (Windows, Mac, iPhone, iPad and Android) or in Preview on a Mac, click a box and type. Save your copy after each sitting.

Can I print it?

Yes. It's letter size (8.5 × 11 in) with a wide left margin for a 3-hole punch. Print it at home or at an office store.

Is my information private?

Everything you write stays on your own computer or paper. We never see what you fill in. The binder tells you to write only the last 4 digits of account numbers and never to write down passwords.

What if it isn't right for me?

Email us within 14 days of your order for a full refund. You don't need to explain why.
