The Family Affairs Organizer, open on a kitchen table

Most families don't argue about the big things.
They argue about where the paperwork is.

Passwords on sticky notes. A policy "somewhere." An account nobody knew about. The will in a drawer, maybe. Grief is hard enough without a scavenger hunt. This binder is the end of the scavenger hunt.

What's inside: 38 pages, 10 sections

Every question your family would have, answered on paper, in your handwriting.

For my family

The first week

A one-page checklist of what to do, in order: the first day, the first week, the first month. Written so nobody has to figure it out while they're grieving.

Section 1

Who to call first

Three people in order, the professionals who know your affairs, family and friends, pets and anyone who depends on you.

Section 2

Where everything is

The document locator: will, trust, powers of attorney, deeds, titles, keys, safe, safe deposit box, storage unit.

Section 3

Money

Bank and retirement accounts, income, bills and autopays, subscriptions, debts, credit cards, business interests.

Section 4

Insurance

Every policy, life, final expense, health, home, auto, and the beneficiary on each. Unclaimed policies are real; this is how you prevent one.

Section 5

Health

Doctors, medications, conditions, directives, and what matters to you about your care.

Section 6

Home & property

Deeds, utilities, vehicles, valuables and heirlooms, and the things only you know how to do around the house.

Section 7

Digital life

Phone, computer, email, online accounts, and what you want done with your photos and social media.

Section 8

My wishes

Burial or cremation, the service, obituary notes, who gets what, and how it's paid for.

Sections 9 & 10

Letters to my family, and the yearly check-up

Five pages for the things you want said. Then a 10-minute review once a year so it stays true.

Why I built this
"I've spent years in life insurance, sitting at kitchen tables with families after someone passed. Almost none of them knew where the policy was. Or which bank. Or the password to the phone with all the photos on it. The grief was hard enough. The scavenger hunt made it worse."

So I built the binder I wish every one of them had. It isn't legal advice and it doesn't replace a will. It's the plain, practical thing that goes next to the will: where everything is, in your own handwriting, so the people you love never have to guess.

Questions

Is this a physical binder or a download?

A download. You get a 38-page PDF (US Letter) the moment you buy. Print it at home or at any print shop and put it in a 1-inch binder you already have. You can print it as many times as you like for your own household.

I'm not great with computers. Will I manage?

If you can open an email and press print, you're set. The link arrives by email. Most people print it at a local print shop for a few dollars, then everything else is a pencil.

Is it safe to write passwords in it?

You decide. Section 7 is built so you can write the password itself, or write where it's kept and how to get in. Many people keep this binder in the same place as their other important papers.

Does this replace a will or power of attorney?

No. It helps you gather and record information and it isn't legal, tax, or financial advice. It goes next to the will, and tells your family where the will is.

What happens after I pay?

You land on a download page and the same link is emailed to you within a minute. Open the PDF, press print (or forward the email to a print shop), and you're holding it the same day. If the email doesn't show up, check spam, then write to hello@familyaffairsorganizer.com and a human sends it again.

How long does it take to fill in?

Most people do it in a weekend, one section at a time, at the kitchen table. Blank lines are fine. A half-filled binder your family can find is worth more than a perfect one that doesn't exist.

What if I don't like it?

Reply to your receipt within 30 days and you're refunded. No questions.

Can I buy it as a gift?

Yes. Buy it, print it, and hand it over in a binder. It is one of the more useful gifts a parent or grandparent can receive.

One weekend. Then it's done.

Don't leave your family guessing. $37, instant download, 30-day guarantee.
