What’s Included in the CLEAR Kit
What’s Included With Every CLEAR Kit (and Why It Matters)
The CLEAR Kit includes both physical and digital tools designed to help you gather, organize, and maintain the information your family or executor will need.
It's comprehensive by design and remarkably simple to use.
What You Receive With Your CLEAR Kit
Every item in the CLEAR Kit is designed to solve a specific problem families face during illness, incapacity, or after a death. Together, they create a clear, usable system your heirs will thank you for.
1. Fire & Water Resistant Storage Case
The CLEAR Kit includes a locking, fire and water resistant storage case designed to store your CLEAR Kit binders and critical documents in one secure place.
It is ideal for legal documents, passports, and other important records that may be needed quickly during an emergency or after a death.
With built in file folders, zippered compartments, and a handle for easy transport, the case keeps essential information protected, organized, and ready when it matters most.
See the storage case features below.
Protected. Organized. Ready When You Need It.
Secure Storage
Locking closure
The locking closure helps keep sensitive information secure and contained in one place. It adds a layer of protection for personal, legal, and financial records while still allowing easy access for you or a trusted person when needed.
Fire and water resistant materials
The storage case is constructed with fire and water resistant materials to help protect important documents from common household risks. This reduces the chance that critical information is damaged or lost during emergencies or unexpected events.
Stores Important Documents and Information
The case is designed to store both originals and working copies of important documents, giving you flexibility based on your preferences and comfort level. Items such as passports, government issued IDs, Social Security cards, birth certificates, insurance policies, benefit information, vehicle titles, credit cards, and key legal documents can be kept together in one protected place.
Everything stays organized, secure, and easy to locate when timing matters.
Smart Storage Features
File Folders for Loose Documents
Integrated file folders provide a simple way to store loose papers, mailed notices, and documents that do not belong in binders. This prevents important items from being misplaced or separated from the system.
Multiple Zippered Compartments and Pouches
Zippered compartments and pouches help organize smaller items and supporting materials, keeping everything contained and easy to access without creating clutter.
Space for CLEAR Kit Binders and Additional Records
The storage case is designed to hold the CLEAR Kit binders along with additional records you may already have, creating a single, centralized home for the entire system.
Grab and Go Access
Sturdy Handle for Easy Transport
The built-in handle makes it easy to carry the CLEAR Kit to appointments, meetings, or temporary locations. This supports real-world use rather than keeping the system tucked away and forgotten.
Reflective Strip for Emergency Visibility
A reflective strip improves visibility in low-light situations, helping the case stand out during emergencies or power outages when time and clarity matter.
Luggage Pass-Through Strap for Easy Transport
The pass-through strap allows the case to securely rest on rolling luggage, making it easier to travel with the CLEAR Kit when visiting a loved one in a hospital, relocating, or managing affairs across locations.
2. A CLEAR Kit Customized To You
The CLEAR Kit is not an off the shelf product. Each kit is personalized for the individual or household receiving it, starting with customized cover sheets at the front of each binder.
Inside, the worksheets are designed to be filled with your information, organized around your life, and easy for others to understand if they ever need to step in.
This approach takes more time and care to produce, but it ensures your information is clear, usable, and actually helpful when it matters.
3. Getting Started Booklet
Estate organization feels overwhelming when you do not know where to begin.
The Getting Started booklet shows you exactly how to start, what to focus on first, and what can wait. It explains how the CLEAR Kit is organized and helps you take a few simple first steps so you can begin in minutes, not hours.
You do not need to finish everything at once. Progress matters more than completion.
Each CLEAR Kit section begins with a short, guided introduction that explains what the section is, why it matters while you are alive, and how the information will be used later. It also provides practical context to help an executor understand and use the information.
The worksheets then guide you to collect the right details, record them consistently, and track what is complete.
Most estate organization products describe what they include. We would rather show you.

4. Estate & End-of-Life Summary Workbook
After you order, you will receive immediate access to the Estate & End-of-Life Summary Workbook, so you can begin gathering the essential information your loved ones may need first. In about an hour, you can create a clear starting point for your executor, family, or trusted contact.
5. Priority-Ordered Binders
The CLEAR Kit is organized into a guided binder system designed to make your information easier to find, update, and use.
CLEAR Kit Essentials includes one premium faux leather binder covering Sections 1 through 22, the core information your loved ones may need first.
CLEAR Kit Expanded includes three premium faux leather binders for each adult, ordered by priority so the most important information comes first:
- Binder 1: Core Essentials — Sections 1 through 22
- Binder 2: Personal, Medical, Family & Care — Sections 23 through 35
- Binder 3: Property, Money & Household — Sections 36 through 47
Each binder includes clearly labeled tabs, section introductions, and guided worksheets. Together, they help organize the details that are often scattered across folders, emails, file cabinets, and conversations, but may be needed quickly when someone has to step in.

7. Digital Files & USB Drive
Every CLEAR Kit includes printed worksheets organized within the binders, so you can complete the system entirely by hand. A computer is not required.
Digital PDF versions of the worksheets are also provided on the included 32GB USB drive for those who prefer to type or maintain electronic copies. These files can be updated and reprinted as life changes.
The digital files also provide access to expansion worksheets at no additional cost.
8. "Where to Find My CLEAR Kit" Cards
An estate organization system is only helpful if people know it exists and can access it when it matters. That is why we include three fill-in notification cards designed to be shared with your executor and trusted loved ones.
These cards explain what the CLEAR Kit is, where it is stored, and who should be notified if something happens. They also create a simple, natural way to start conversations that are important but often difficult to begin.
9. Key Organizer System
The Key Organizer System helps you track important physical keys and how they are used. This small detail often becomes a major obstacle during emergencies. Clear labeling and documentation help prevent delays and frustration when access matters.
10. Access to an Expanding Resource Library
Your CLEAR Kit connects to Buried in Work’s online library of Information Hubs, checklists, and planning guides. These resources continue to grow and evolve, so your system stays useful as laws, best practices, and life circumstances change.
