CLEAR Kits
From $174 with the large case · Ships in under a week
After a death or serious illness, someone has to pay the bills, find the accounts and make decisions quickly, usually without knowing where anything is. The CLEAR Kit puts it all in guided binders, so your family knows what you have, where it is, and what to do.
Created by an attorney who wrote the award-winning book on estate planning and end-of-life tasks.
If These Sound Familiar
My spouse handles all that.
The accounts. The insurance. The passwords. What if you had to take over?
I know we have a will…
Now, if we could just remember where we put it.
The kids know what I want.
Your medical wishes? Your funeral? Who gets Grandma’s ring?
The dog will be fine.
Who has the vet’s number? And where’s the medication?
“They’ll figure it out” isn’t a plan. Thankfully, there’s the CLEAR Kit.
A (not) so fun fact
Much of it goes to finding out what exists and where it is. Get organized now, so your family has a plan to follow when it matters.
The CLEAR Kit is a guided system for organizing your important documents, accounts, contacts, and wishes. It helps you get things in order so your family knows what you have, where to find it, and what to do if they need to step in.
Your spouse, adult child, or trusted person shouldn’t have to piece your life together from filing cabinets, inboxes, and memory. The CLEAR Kit helps them find the documents, contacts, accounts, and instructions they may need during an illness, an emergency, or after a death.
The included “Where to Find My CLEAR Kit” cards help you tell your people where to look.
You don’t need to know what belongs in an estate and life organizer. (That’s our job.)
Premium faux-leather binders, guided tabs, and printed worksheets arrive assembled. Each section explains what to gather, why it matters, and how someone may use it later.
Get help when a question comes up. The QR codes and links in your CLEAR Kit lead to related Buried in Work guides, information hubs, and checklists, so you can learn about the section you’re working on.
Who takes care of the dog? Where’s the water shutoff? Which email account controls everything else? What are your wishes for your care, your funeral, and the things you’ll leave behind?
The CLEAR Kit helps you capture practical details alongside legal and financial information. Expanded adds sections for family, pets, medical details, property, belongings, business interests, and more.
Start with the information you know and the documents you can find. You don’t need every answer before you begin.
Complete a section, skip what doesn’t apply, and come back for more. When something changes, update the page you need. You can build a useful record without making it your new full-time job.
Use the printed worksheets, type into fillable PDFs on your computer, or complete the available forms in your online dashboard. Mix and match, section by section.
Your printed CLEAR Kit works on its own, so you can use it without the dashboard. CLEAR Kit Online is currently in early access, with more features being added.
Working through the prompts can turn up things you meant to handle: a missing document, an outdated contact, or instructions that have never made it onto paper.
Get a clearer picture of what’s organized, what needs attention, and what you want your family to know. That’s useful now, too.
CLEAR Kits are trusted by families and professionals in all 50 states.
We’re blown away by your product - both practical and necessary!!
This is exactly what we needed to get organized.
If I could shout the benefits of this from some rooftop, I would.
I can finally get rid of my yellow notepad.
This is wonderful. You've really thought of everything.
You really did think of everything.
Very impressive estate planning books!
How it works
We’ve made the steps easy to follow, whether you write by hand, fill out worksheets on your computer, work online, or mix and match.
This is your quick walkthrough of what to expect, from ordering to “I’m Organized.”
Our most popular bundle (CLEAR Kit Expanded) includes:
Zip-around binders in premium faux leather, with stitched edges that are made to last. One binder per adult with Essentials, two with Expanded.
Guided tabs explain what each section is, why it matters, and when someone may need it. The printed worksheets walk you through what to write down.
A high-level overview of what your loved ones may need first. It’s emailed when you order, so you can get started before your CLEAR Kit arrives.
Use the “Where to Find My CLEAR Kit” cards to tell trusted people that your CLEAR Kit exists, where you keep it, and how to get to it.
The large case holds your binders and copies of your important documents, and it has a combination lock.
Fill in your worksheets online, download and print pages, and use Buried in Work’s guides, information hubs, and checklists. Early access is open now.
A short guide that shows you where to begin, what matters first, and what can wait.
Look inside
Most estate organization products show you a nice photo of the outside of their box or product. We’d rather show you what’s inside.

In both CLEAR Kits.
CLEAR Kit Expanded includes every Essentials section, plus these.
2Important Contacts
Complete it your way
An estate organization system is only good if you use it. That’s why we designed the CLEAR Kit so you can use it your way.
Complete your CLEAR Kit by hand.
Download PDFs and save them on your hard drive.
Track your progress in your dashboard and complete it online.
Your purchase includes early access to CLEAR Kit Online, plus three years of Buried in Work Online beginning at its official launch, currently scheduled for January 2027.
Early access lets you use the available tools while more features are being added. It doesn’t use up any of your three-year membership.
Below are answers to the most common questions we receive.
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.
It covers:
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.
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.
Essentials covers the core information your loved ones may need first: contacts, legal documents, medical wishes, insurance, benefits, accounts, and digital access. Expanded includes everything in Essentials plus a second binder for the rest of your life: family, dependents, pets, medical history, property, belongings, debts, business interests, and taxes. Compare the two.
Your binders (Essentials, plus Expanded with that CLEAR Kit), guided section tabs, printed worksheets, a Getting Started booklet, notification and access cards, and a key pouch with key tags. Each adult's name is printed on their cover sheet. Bundles include the large fire- and water-resistant storage case; build your own to choose a compact case or none, and to add the book, card games, a USB drive, or a Kini motion alert sensor.
Yes. Choose Me and my spouse or partner. Each of you gets your own binders, tabs, and printed worksheets, with your own name on the cover. If you choose a storage case, one case holds both sets. Each of you also gets your own early access to CLEAR Kit Online, so your information stays separate.
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 tabs do more than divide the binder.
Each guided section tab explains:
It's not just a divider. It is a roadmap.
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.
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.
Every CLEAR Kit comes with immediate early access to CLEAR Kit Online as features roll out: the online forms and tools that are ready now, interactive PDF worksheets, and your Estate & End-of-Life Summary Report, for the sections in your CLEAR Kit.
Every CLEAR Kit purchased also includes three years of Buried in Work Online, starting when it launches in January 2027. The access code on the cover sheet inside your binder connects your CLEAR Kit to your account.
CLEAR Kit Online is open in early access before Buried in Work Online launches in January 2027. Use the features that are ready today; we're adding tools over the coming months and we'd love your suggestions along the way.
In January 2027, when Buried in Work Online launches. That's true for every CLEAR Kit purchased, so using it early doesn't use up any of your three years.
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.
No. Heirloom & Tell is a separate product: a private place for your family's stories, photographs, heirlooms and history. It isn't part of Buried in Work or CLEAR Kit, and it's added to your order only if you choose it. On its own it's $99 for three years. With a CLEAR Kit or a paid Buried in Work purchase, add it for $69. An extra StorySite is $69, and extra hosting is $12 a year.
CLEAR Kits ordered before October 13, 2026 include complimentary limited access.
No.
The CLEAR Kit can be used independently. Heirloom & Tell adds tools for preserving stories, belongings, family history, and other meaningful information.
Yes. Your CLEAR Kit comes with interactive PDF versions of the worksheets and online forms, so you can type your answers, print fresh pages, or write by hand on the printed worksheets. Use whichever works for you.
Yes.
As you work through the CLEAR Kit, you may discover that:
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:
The CLEAR Kit includes guided tabs, worksheets, 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.
A CLEAR Kit can be returned within 30 days of purchase if nothing has been filled in. You pay for return shipping, and a $10 processing fee comes out of the refund. See the return policy for the full terms.
Each CLEAR Kit is personalized and assembled before it ships. Personalized CLEAR Kits generally ship within a week, and shipping costs are shown at checkout.
You just need a better place to begin.
