If something happened to Mom or Dad tomorrow, would you know where to start?
The house and the bank account are easy to find. The digital pieces are harder, and usually only your parent knows where they are.
Writing it down together takes less time than you’d think. Start with ten minutes.

Questions before you start
If you like reading and writing by hand, Essentials has everything you need. If you’d rather type and keep a clean digital copy, choose the Complete Kit. The book is for adult children who want to help a parent get organized; the Map and planner work for your own information, or for a parent’s as you sit down together.
Most legacy apps store your information on their servers. Our guides keep it with you: on paper, or in a file you control. Nothing to log into, nothing to renew.
No. The guides ask where passwords and recovery codes are kept, such as a password manager or a safe, never the passwords themselves.
Right after checkout you’ll see your download links. Payments are processed securely by Paddle.
Only in the browser you’re using — never on our servers, and there’s no time limit. Your answers stay until you clear the browser’s site data, switch device, browser or browser profile, or use a private window. Each browser keeps its own copy, so the same computer in a different browser starts empty.
No. A private window throws everything away the moment you close it, so your answers would be gone before you could back them up. Use a normal window, and download a backup file from the planner when you finish a section — that file is yours to keep, survives clearing your browser, and can be restored on any device.
Yes. The Map is designed to print at home, and the book reads on any e-reader, phone, tablet or computer.
No. The guides help you organize information and record your wishes. Access to accounts after a death or incapacity depends on the law and each company’s rules, so talk to an estate-planning attorney about legal documents.
Yes. We suggest a quick review once a year, or whenever you open or close an important account.

You don’t need to finish in one sitting. A single page of notes can save your family hours of searching later.
