Who it is for
Families, caregivers and anyone preparing their affairs, including before signing a will, power of attorney or health care directive.
Why it is different
- It records where things are, never the secrets themselves, and a built-in helper flags entries that look like account or ID numbers.
- Each document shows a review-due or expiring status against a date you set.
- A filled example for an invented family with obviously fake details and a blank copy with working formulas.
What is inside
- Start Here. Purpose, a clear warning about what never to type and what the organizer is not.
- Key Contacts. Family, emergency contacts, doctors, attorney, tax preparer, insurance agent and others.
- Documents Map. Where each original and copy is kept, who holds one, when it was signed or issued, when it expires and when it was last reviewed, with a status for each.
- Accounts and Subscriptions. Institutions and subscriptions with where the login is kept, not the login, and what the subscriptions cost each month and year.
- Insurance. Policy types, agent contacts, premiums and renewal dates.
- Digital and Household. Recovery contacts, utility shutoffs, vehicles, pets and where medication lists are kept.
- If Something Happens. A one-page checklist for a caregiver or executor that pulls the locations of the key documents.
- Review Schedule. A yearly review so the information stays current.
- Checks. A helper that flags entries that look like they contain a number or are too long.

It is not a will, power of attorney, health care directive or any legal document, and it is not legal, tax or financial advice. To make or change those, ask a licensed attorney; signing and notarization rules vary by state. Do not type Social Security numbers, account numbers, PINs, passwords or security answers into this file. The warning helper cannot catch everything. Payment is handled by Stripe.
