Nobody wants to do this.
Everyone’s relieved when they do.
Practical tools to organize your information, preserve what matters, and make life considerably easier for the people you love.
Created by an attorney, MBA, and former executor. Designed for real families, including the ones with mystery drawers, forgotten passwords, and several folders labeled “Important.”
The Lighter Side
Serious subjects. Slightly morbid mugs.
Coffee, apparel, games, and gifts for the people who do this work, and the families who live it.
No Loose Ends
The book that explains the whole system.
A plain-English guide to wills and trusts, caregiving, funeral decisions, digital assets, and what your family actually faces after a death. Foreword by the President of the National Funeral Directors Association.
Conversation Card Decks
The questions families never get around to asking.
One More Story unlocks the stories your family has never told. Nothing Left Unsaid opens the conversations everyone keeps postponing. Two decks, one purpose: start talking before you have to.
Heirloom & Tell
Documents show what you owned. Not why it mattered.
Preserve the stories, photographs, recipes, and belongings no legal document was designed to hold. Every CLEAR Kit includes complimentary limited access.
You already know you should get organized.
Everything has a place. Including the things that don’t fit in a binder.
CLEAR Kit
Organize the practical information.
A guided physical system for the documents, accounts, contacts, instructions, wishes, property, health information, and household details someone may someday need.
BuriedinWork.com
Figure out what comes next.
More than 170 Information Hubs, plus interactive checklists, guides, directories, and practical resources covering estate planning, caregiving, funerals, probate, grief, and questions you didn’t know existed until suddenly they did.
Heirloom & Tell
Preserve what only your family can explain.
A private digital family hub for belongings, stories, photographs, recipes, timelines, wishes, relationships, and the information no legal document was designed to hold.
The paperwork. The people. The plan for what happens next.
How much energy do you have for this today?

Let’s actually get this done
Build the complete system.
Build a more complete physical system for your estate, household, finances, health, property, and end-of-life information.
I’m not ready for paperwork
Start with the stories.
Start with family stories, belongings, recipes, photographs, and the things you may actually enjoy preserving.
A physical system your family can actually use.
The CLEAR Kit does more than give you somewhere to put documents.
Each section explains what to collect, why it matters, and how someone may eventually use it. Information is organized by priority, beginning with what your family may need first.
Printed worksheets, fillable digital copies, guided sections, and a protective locking case make it easier to complete, update, and find.
Because the goal isn’t to create a beautiful binder no one understands.
The goal is to leave direction.
Serious experience. Human advice.
As an attorney and former estate executor, I saw how easily families could have plenty of information and still have no idea what to do next. I created Buried in Work to close that gap.
