The CLEAR Kit is designed for adults who want to organize the documents, information, and instructions their loved ones or representatives may eventually need.

You do not need to be wealthy, elderly, seriously ill, or finished with your estate planning. The CLEAR Kit can help whether you are starting from scratch or already have documents scattered across filing cabinets, computers, email accounts, and that one drawer everyone avoids.

The CLEAR Kit helps you organize important estate, financial, medical, digital, household, property, family, and end-of-life information.

Depending on the version you choose, it may cover:

• Important contacts
• Wills and trusts
• Powers of attorney and healthcare documents
• Insurance and government benefits
• Financial accounts and expenses
• Digital accounts and devices
• Medical information
• Family and dependent information
• Pets
• Property and belongings
• Business interests
• Debts
• Tax information
• Final arrangements and instructions

No.

Complete the sections that apply to you and return to the others when they become relevant.

The CLEAR Kit is designed to help you make steady progress, not turn estate organization into a second job.

CLEAR Kit Essentials includes Binder 1 and Sections 1 through 22. It covers the information families and representatives are most likely to need first, including estate documents, important contacts, medical coverage, digital access, financial accounts, and recurring expenses.

CLEAR Kit Expanded includes everything in Essentials, plus Binders 2 and 3 and Sections 23 through 48. It adds broader personal, medical, family, care, property, household, insurance, debt, business, and tax information.

Yes.

You can begin with Essentials and add Binders 2 and 3 later. You will not need to repurchase Binder 1 or start over.

The numbered section structure remains the same, making it easy to expand your CLEAR Kit when you are ready.

Choose One Adult if you are organizing information for one person.

Choose Two Adults if two people are organizing their information, including spouses or partners.

Each adult receives their own set of materials so their documents, accounts, wishes, and instructions stay together.

Each adult receives their own binder materials.

• One-Adult Essentials includes one Binder 1 in one storage case.
• Two-Adult Essentials includes two Binder 1s in one shared storage case.
• One-Adult Expanded includes one complete three-binder set in one storage case.
• Two-Adult Expanded includes two complete three-binder sets in two storage cases.

Each adult has their own legal documents, accounts, medical information, digital life, wishes, obligations, and instructions.

Keeping each person’s information together makes the CLEAR Kit easier to complete, update, and use. It also avoids forcing couples to sort information into Adult 1, Adult 2, and Shared sections.

The Printed CLEAR Kit arrives assembled and ready to use. It includes binders, guided section tabs, printed worksheets, a storage case, “Where to Find My CLEAR Kit” cards, a key organizer, and digital worksheet files on a USB drive.

Essentials Print at Home includes the Binder 1 section materials and worksheets on a USB drive for you to print and assemble using your own binder and supplies.

No.

Expanded includes all 48 sections across three binders for each adult. That would require a substantial amount of printing, organizing, hole-punching, and assembly at home.

We can print and assemble the complete system more efficiently than most customers can, so Expanded is available only as a professionally printed kit.

Yes.

Digital copies of the applicable worksheets are included on a USB drive. You can complete them digitally, print replacement pages, and update your information as life changes.

These files are separate from CLEAR Kit Online, which is being developed for the future.

The tabs do more than divide the binder.

Each guided section tab explains:

• What the section covers
• What documents and information to collect
• Why the information matters
• How your executor or loved ones may use it
• Where to find related Buried in Work resources

It's not just a divider. It is a roadmap.

CLEAR Kit sections connect to related Buried in Work guidance, including articles, checklists, directories, tools, templates, and other resources.

These resources help you understand what to organize, identify potential gaps, and learn what your family or representatives may eventually need to do with the information.

The Estate & End-of-Life Summary Report helps you organize the high-level information your loved ones may need first.

It creates a practical starting point while you continue completing the rest of the CLEAR Kit.

You will receive it by email after ordering so you can begin before your physical CLEAR Kit arrives.

The Getting Started booklet explains how the CLEAR Kit works, where to begin, and how to make progress without becoming overwhelmed.

It helps break a large project into smaller, more manageable steps.

The key organization system helps you identify and organize important physical keys your loved ones or representatives may need.

This may include keys for your home, vehicles, safe deposit box, storage unit, mailbox, cabinets, or other secured property.

These cards let trusted people know that you have completed a CLEAR Kit and where it can be found.

You can give them to family members, representatives, or other trusted contacts without giving them immediate access to the contents.

The case is fire and water resistant. It is designed to provide additional protection from common household emergencies.

It should not be described as completely fireproof, waterproof, or indestructible.

That depends on the document and your circumstances.

Some people store originals in the CLEAR Kit. Others store originals in a safe, attorney’s office, financial institution, or another secure location and place copies or location instructions in the binder.

The important thing is to make sure your family or representatives know that the document exists and where the original can be found.

You do not need to list every password directly in the CLEAR Kit.

You may instead identify your password manager, explain where access instructions are stored, and document the devices, accounts, authentication methods, and trusted contacts your representatives may need to know about.

Use appropriate care before recording passwords, recovery codes, or other highly sensitive credentials.

No.

The CLEAR Kit is an organization and guidance system. It does not create a will, trust, power of attorney, advance directive, or other legal document.

It is not legal, tax, financial, or medical advice. It may, however, help you identify missing or outdated documents and arrive at a professional’s office considerably more organized.

Yes.

As you work through the CLEAR Kit, you may discover that:

• A beneficiary designation is outdated
• A policy is about to lapse
• A legal document cannot be located
• An account lacks a transfer or payable-on-death designation
• Nobody knows where an original will is stored
• A digital account has no access plan
• Important instructions exist only in your head

Finding those gaps now is one of the most valuable parts of the process.

Review it at least once a year and whenever something significant changes.

Examples include:

• Marriage, divorce, birth, or death
• A move
• A new job or retirement
• A major purchase or sale
• A new account or insurance policy
• A change in health
• Updated estate planning documents
• New beneficiaries
• A changed password manager or phone number

Every CLEAR Kit purchase includes complimentary limited access to Heirloom & Tell as described with the product you select.

Heirloom & Tell helps you preserve family stories, meaningful belongings, recipes, memories, timelines, and other information your family may want to keep.

The CLEAR Kit helps answer, “What do we need to do?”

Heirloom & Tell helps answer, “What do we want to remember?”

No.

The CLEAR Kit can be used independently. Heirloom & Tell adds tools for preserving stories, belongings, family history, and other meaningful information.

Not yet.

The digital files currently included with the CLEAR Kit are fillable worksheet files provided on a USB drive.

CLEAR Kit Online is being developed as a separate guided online platform. More information will be shared when it is ready.

The CLEAR Kit includes guided tabs, worksheets, the Getting Started booklet, and access to related Buried in Work resources.

Buried in Work also offers educational materials, courses, and other services that may help with estate organization and end-of-life planning.

Yes.

A CLEAR Kit can be given to a parent, spouse, adult child, friend, client, or another person who would benefit from organizing their information.

Because estate organization can be personal, it often helps to explain that the gift is intended to make life easier for them and the people they care about, not to suggest that anyone is going anywhere soon.

Yes.

Buried in Work offers options for professionals, businesses, employers, financial institutions, law firms, senior communities, and other organizations.

Wholesale, retail, affiliate, and professional programs may also be available.

You may return your CLEAR Kit within 30 days of delivery for a refund of the product price.

To be eligible, the complete CLEAR Kit must be returned in good condition. Customers are responsible for return shipping, and a $10 return processing fee will be deducted from the refund. If Buried in Work paid for the original shipping cost, that amount will also be deducted.

Because every CLEAR Kit includes digital files, requesting a refund means you agree to delete any digital copies provided with the kit.
