Who is this kit for?

A second adult is $150, not $199. Both adults get their own complete materials; the binders share one case, so the second person costs $49 less than the first.

CLEAR Kit personalization

Printed on the cover sheet. Leave blank and we’ll ask by email.

Which one is right for me?

Essentials covers sections 1–22: what your family is most likely to need first. Expanded adds the remaining 25 sections and a second binder for $100 more, and is the one most people choose.

Starting with Essentials is not a dead end: you can add the Expanded binder later.

CLEAR Kit Essentials is a guided estate and end-of-life organization system that helps you gather important documents, record essential details, identify what may be missing, and leave clear direction for someone who may eventually need to step in.

It is more than a binder. It shows you what to collect, where it belongs, why it matters, and how your family or representative may use it.

Look inside

Every Section, Before You Buy

Pick any of the 22 sections to see the guided tab that opens it and the worksheet behind it. The front tells you what belongs there and why it matters; the back tells you when your family will need it, and links to the related guidance online.

2Important Contacts

CLEAR Kit guided tab, front, for Important Contacts
Front — what belongs here, and why it matters
CLEAR Kit guided tab, back, for Important Contacts
Back — when it is needed, and where to read more
First worksheet page for Important Contacts, preview
Worksheet: the first page you write on for this section. Every section has its own; repeatable record sheets can be printed again whenever you need another.

Behind every tab

  • Structured worksheets for recording the details
  • Prompts that help reveal what is missing
  • Context for the family member or executor who opens it
  • Links to the related Buried in Work guidance

These are the 22 sections in the Core Essentials binder. Sections 23 to 47 are added by CLEAR Kit Expanded. Tab images are shown at preview quality; the tabs in your kit are printed and unmarked.

Two things you only notice later

Designed for the years after you fill it in

Section 15, Digital Security and Access: the one worksheet in the kit designed to hold access codes, preview

Passwords have one place, and it comes out of the binder

Every other section says not to write access codes there. Section 15 is the one that may, and its pages are designed to be removed and kept somewhere else. The kit’s own words:

“Keep it only in this section. For added privacy, you may remove these pages from the binder and store them in a sealed envelope or another secure location.”

The kit recommends a password manager first, and uses the worksheets to tell someone where to find it.

A Financial Accounts record sheet, one per account, with the reprint note at the top, preview

It never runs out of pages

Accounts, policies, properties and people each get their own two-page record sheet. Open a new account in ten years and you print another. The line at the top of every one:

“Use one of these sheets for each account. Print more sheets whenever you need them from your CLEAR Kit Worksheet Library.”

The Worksheet Library is part of the online Resource Center that comes with every kit.

What Is CLEAR Kit Essentials?

CLEAR Kit Essentials is the focused version of the CLEAR Kit.

It includes Binder 1 and Sections 1 through 22, covering the documents, accounts, instructions, contacts, and wishes that may be needed most quickly during an emergency, incapacity, or after a death.

It gives your family a reliable place to begin without requiring you to organize every detail of your life at once.

Binder 1: Core Essentials

Here is every section in the Essentials kit, in the order it appears in your binder. Read what belongs in any of them before you order.

  • 1. Estate & End-of-Life Summary Report
  • 2. Important Contacts
  • 3. Identity & Citizenship
  • 4. Last Will & Testament
  • 5. Trusts
  • 6. Advance Directive, Medical POA & Living Will
  • 7. HIPAA Authorization
  • 8. Financial Power of Attorney
  • 9. Organ, Tissue & Body Donation

  • 18. Income
  • 19. Financial Accounts
  • 20. Credit Cards

A System Someone Else Can Actually Use

Every numbered section contains:

  • A plain-language explanation
  • Guidance on what to gather
  • Worksheets for recording important details
  • Context explaining why the information matters
  • Instructions for how another person may use it
  • Connections to related Buried in Work resources

The result is not simply a collection of documents. It is an organized roadmap for the person who may need to find, understand, and act on your information.

Start Before Your Kit Arrives

After ordering, you will receive the Estate & End-of-Life Summary Workbook by email.

It helps you create a high-level summary of the information your loved ones may need first, so you can begin immediately while your personalized CLEAR Kit is being prepared.

Page 2 of the Estate and End-of-Life Summary Report, preview

The first two of its sixteen pages. The same document is section 1 of the binder, so what you fill in tonight is what your family reads first.

Printed, Assembled, and Ready on Arrival

Professionally printed

Every CLEAR Kit arrives assembled with binders, guided section tabs, printed worksheets, a storage case, cards, and a key organizer. Open the box and start writing.

The Resource Center

Every kit includes online access to print optimized and fillable PDF copies of every worksheet. Print replacement pages whenever you need them, or fill them in on a computer. Your access code is printed on the cover sheet inside your binder.

Each adult receives their own materials. Two-Adult Essentials includes two Binder 1s in one case. Two-Adult Expanded includes two complete two-binder sets in one case.

Every kit includes complimentary limited access to Heirloom & Tell for online resources.

You Do Not Have to Complete It All at Once

Begin with the Estate & End-of-Life Summary Workbook. Then work through the sections that matter most to your household.

You can complete the worksheets by hand, type into the included PDF files, or use a combination of both. As life changes, update individual pages without rebuilding the entire system.

Progress matters more than finishing everything in one weekend.
