How you get it

Right after checkout you'll get an email with your download link. You can also download it from the order confirmation page.

To type in it, open it in the free Adobe Acrobat Reader or in Preview on a Mac. To write in it, print it at home or at an office store.
Is this a will?

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.
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.
Money-back guarantee

If the binder isn't useful to you, email us within 14 days of your order for a full refund. You don't need to explain why.
