The CLEAR Kit

The Estate Organization Solution Your Family Will Thank You For

After a death or serious illness, the person handling your affairs has to pay bills, access accounts, contact institutions, and make decisions quickly, often without knowing where anything is.

That confusion isn't caused by lack of effort. It's caused by information that was never gathered in one usable place.

The CLEAR Kit is a guided estate organization system that brings your important information, documents, and instructions together in one clear, structured place and shows your family or executor what to do with them.

Why the CLEAR Kit Works

It's A Simple System That Reduces Stress, Confusion, & Risk At Key Moments In Life

When someone dies or becomes incapacitated, families are suddenly responsible for paying bills, accessing accounts, contacting institutions, locating documents, and making time-sensitive decisions. Most of the stress comes from not knowing where information lives or whether something is missing.

The CLEAR Kit organizes your information the way estates are actually handled.

It gives executors and family members a single place to find accounts, documents, contacts, and instructions, and it points them to the resources they need to complete common tasks like notifying institutions, accessing benefits, and settling affairs.

The CLEAR Kit Helps Avoid Problems

Families routinely lose track of accounts, delay probate, miss benefits, and spend months reconstructing basic information that could have been written down in advance.

The cost isn't just financial. It's time, emotional strain, and unnecessary conflict at exactly the wrong moment.

Give Your Executor A Clear Starting Point

It's Designed to Make Starting Easy

You Can Begin In Just a Few Minutes

Estate organization can feel intimidating, which is why many people never start.

The CLEAR Kit makes it easier with a Let’s Get Started booklet and Quick Start Guidance at the beginning of each section. Start with the basics. Add more when you are ready. The structure does the heavy lifting.

Comprehensive by design. Remarkably simple to use.

Your CLEAR Kit Includes

A CLEAR Kit Customized To You

You're unique, and your CLEAR Kit should reflect that.

That's why every CLEAR Kit includes customized cover sheets at the front of each binder, designed to be filled with your information, organized around your life, and easily understood by the people who may need it one day.

It takes more time and effort to produce, but you're worth it.

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.

Executor's Summary Report

The Executor’s Summary Report provides a high level overview of essential information in one place. It gives the person stepping in a clear roadmap and helps them understand what exists, where to find it, and what needs attention first.

Three Premium Topic Specific Binders

The CLEAR Kit organizes your information across three clearly labeled binders, each focused on a major area your family or executor will need to work through.

  1. Legal, Medical, & End-of-Life
    Documents legal arrangements, healthcare decisions, and end-of-life preferences so they are easy to find and understand.
  2. Personal & Family Information
    Captures essential personal details, contacts, and family information that often becomes urgent after a death or during incapacity.
  3. Property, Money, & Digital Life
    Organizes financial accounts, property details, subscriptions, and digital access information in one place.

Each binder is a custom manufactured, zippered binder designed to protect your information and hold up to real world use.

"Where to Find My CLEAR Kit" Cards

n 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.

Guided Worksheets That Are Fillable, Printable, and Repeatable

Within each binder are guided worksheets that walk you through what information matters, why, and what to do with it. They also help track what has been handled and what still needs attention during an emergency or estate transition.

Worksheets are:

  • Easy to understand
  • Fillable, printable, and repeatable
  • Designed for updates as life changes

You can start with the basics and add more over time.

A Fire and Water Resistant Binder

The CLEAR Kit includes a fire and water resistant notebook designed to store your most critical documents. This provides a secure place for originals or copies that may be needed quickly during an emergency or after a death.

Birth certificates, passports, Social Security cards, insurance policies, and key legal documents belong here.

Digital Fillable PDFs & USB Drive

In addition to the printed materials, the CLEAR Kit includes access to digital, fillable PDFs that arrive on a 32GB USB drive. This allows you to:

  • Work digitally if you prefer
  • Print clean copies when needed
  • Keep backup versions of your information

Digital access makes it easier to revise and replace documents over time.

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.

Notification Templates

The CLEAR Kit includes notification templates that help your family or executor know who to contact and when. These templates reduce guesswork during emotionally difficult moments and help ensure important institutions and people are not overlooked.

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.

A System That Matches How Attorneys, Advisors, and Executors Organize Real Estates

The CLEAR Kit follows the same structure that professionals use, which means your information is easy to find, easy to understand, and ready for the people who will rely on it.

Which CLEAR Kit Is Right For You?

Is the CLEAR Kit right for me?

The CLEAR Kit is especially helpful if any of the following are true:

  • You're married or partnered and want shared information in one clear place
  • You have adult children who may need to step in someday
  • You own property, financial accounts, or digital assets
  • You're named as someone’s executor or expect to serve in that role
  • You want to make things easier for the people who would help if something happened

If you see yourself in even one of these situations, the CLEAR Kit is designed to bring clarity, reduce confusion, and make information usable when it matters most.

Should I order a one adult or two adult CLEAR Kit?

Choose the one adult version if you are organizing information for yourself only. This version includes everything you need to build your personal system.

Choose the two adult version if you share finances, a household, or long term planning with a partner or spouse. It provides space and worksheets for each person, along with shared sections for property, accounts, and final wishes. The structure helps both adults stay aligned and keeps everything in one place for the people who may need it later.

What CLEAR Kit format is right for me?

The CLEAR Kit is available in two formats. Both include access to all worksheets and resources.

1. Printed + Digital

This option includes the complete physical CLEAR Kit shipped to you. You receive the three binders, labeled tabs, printed worksheets, a key storage system, and the fire-and-water resistant critical document notebook, as well as a USB drive with access to print optimized and interactive PDFs. This is the best choice if you want a ready to use system that is easy to follow, easy to maintain, and easy for loved ones to step into when needed.

2. Self Printed + Digital

You receive everything included in the CLEAR Kit except the printed worksheets. The binders, tabs, key storage system, critical document notebook, and full digital access are all included. You complete the worksheets digitally or print them yourself.

The worksheets alone total more than 300 pages when printed double sided, which is why most families choose Printed + Digital. The right choice comes down to whether you want everything printed for you or prefer to print and complete the worksheets on your own.

Good To Know

Most families choose Printed + Digital because the physical organization is a core part of what makes the CLEAR Kit effective. The right choice comes down to whether you want a fully assembled system or prefer to build it yourself.

Is there a digital only version of the CLEAR Kit?

We no longer offer a digital only version of the CLEAR Kit.

Every CLEAR Kit includes digital access to all worksheets and files, but the system itself is designed to be physical. The binders, labeled tabs, printed worksheets, and protected document storage are core to how the CLEAR Kit works.

When we previously offered a digital only option, many customers later came back asking to purchase the binders and tabs after realizing how much easier it was to organize information and store critical documents in a ready to use format.

You can still complete worksheets on a computer or print additional copies at home. Just keep in mind that the full system includes more than 300 pages of worksheets when printed double sided, which is why most families choose the CLEAR Kit printed + digital access.

Can I still order the CLEAR Kit Lite version?

We previously offered two versions of the CLEAR Kit, but with Version 4 we made a deliberate change.

We streamlined the CLEAR Kit into one clear, complete system that is easier to follow and easier to use. Not everyone will fill out every section, and that's completely fine. What mattered to us was making sure everyone has access to everything they might need, without having to guess what's missing later.

For those who want a high-level overview rather than detailed worksheets, we recommend the Executor’s Summary Report as an alternative. (It's also included with every CLEAR Kit!)

What is the concierge version of the CLEAR Kit?

Buried in Work's concierge service offers up to 20 hours of personal 1:1 guidance to ensure every aspect of your personal, financial, and end-of-life information is meticulously organized, giving you the ultimate peace of mind for the future. Contact us to discuss whether the concierge service is the right fit for you.

Most people don't regret buying an estate organization system. They regret not having one sooner.
