What makes it different
Most binders store information.
This one tells your family what to do with it.
The First 48 Hours
The only genuinely urgent page; it proves everything else can wait.
The Notification System
Government, financial, insurance & subscription checklists with a call log and death-certificate tracker (who got copy #7 and did they return it).
Fiduciary-safe money pages
One estate account, bills triage (pay / wait / reject), executor expense log, creditor claims log.
Scripts for the hard talks
“When can I get my money?” answered kindly, verbatim; a fair process for the sentimental items (the china causes more wars than the money).
The realistic timeline
9–18 months is normal; this workbook paces you like someone who’s done it before.
Nothing hidden
Every page, shown
This is the complete binder — all 57 pages, before you spend a cent. What you see is exactly what downloads.

Good questions
Everything you might be wondering
How does printing work?
Your files arrive by email the moment you purchase. Print at home on any printer, or send the PDF to a local print shop or online printing service — then pop the pages into a standard 3-ring binder. 57 pages, standard paper is fine.
Will it use a lot of ink?
We include a bonus Ink-Saver edition — the same pages on a plain white background, designed for everyday home printing. Print the full-color edition just for the cover and dividers if you like.
What paper sizes are included?
Both US Letter (8.5×11") and A4, as separate PDFs — so it prints perfectly wherever you live.
What if it’s not right for me?
30-day money-back guarantee — if it doesn’t bring you calm, we’ll refund it, no questions asked.
Is this legal or tax advice?
No — probate is governed by state law and varies widely. This is an organizational companion; your attorney and CPA always have the final word. It does make you the client attorneys love: organized, documented, and calm.
Can I share it with family?
Print as many copies as you need for your own household. The files are for personal use only — please don’t resell or redistribute them.
How do free lifetime updates work?
Register your copy at keepsworth.com/register and every improved edition is emailed to you free, forever. It’s our way of making sure your binder never goes out of date.
Who is this for?
Anyone named executor or administrator, successor trustees, and adult children settling a parent’s affairs — with or without an attorney.
Probate is governed by state law and varies widely. This is an organizational companion, not legal or tax advice — your attorney and CPA always have the final word.
