When someone dies, the paperwork hunt should not fall on the family.
KindredPassage makes one product, the When I'm Gone Organizer, and one free checklist. The organizer is where you record, in advance, the things your family will need: who to call, where everything is, your accounts, your digital life, and your final wishes. The checklist covers the first 72 hours after a death, in order.
Start with whichever door matches your situation. Both are below.
I'm planning ahead
You want your own records in order while there is time to do it calmly. The organizer gives you a page for each fact your family will one day need, and you fill it in a page at a time. Three finished sections already help. The free checklist is worth printing and keeping with it.

Someone just died
You need to know what happens first, today. The Executor's First 72 Hours checklist walks through the first three days in order: hours 0 to 6, 6 to 24, and 24 to 72. It also lists what can safely wait a week. It is free, and you can download it on the next page without giving an email address.
