After I Leave You: A Complete Guide for the People I Love
After I Leave You: A Complete Guide for the People I Love
You have thought about it before. What would happen to your family if you were suddenly gone. Who would know where to find the insurance policy. Who would know your passwords. What would happen to the kids, the pets, the house, the accounts.
Most people think about it and then push it aside because it feels overwhelming, or morbid, or like something to handle later. But later is not a plan. And the people who love you deserve better than chaos.
After I Leave You is the guide you sit down with once, fill out at your own pace, and leave behind as a final act of love.

Frequently Asked Questions
ABOUT THE GUIDE
Q: What exactly is After I Leave You?
A: After I Leave You is a comprehensive fill-in guide designed to give your family everything they need after your death. It covers every financial account, insurance policy, password location, legal document, funeral wish, digital account, and personal letter you want to leave behind. It is written directly to the people who will be reading it, so when they pick it up, it feels like guidance from you.
Q: Is this a legal document?
A: No. After I Leave You is a personal planning guide, not a legal document. It does not replace a will, trust, power of attorney, or advance directive. What it does is tell your family where those documents are and what to do with them. We strongly recommend working with a licensed estate planning attorney in your state for your legal paperwork.
Q: How is this different from a regular estate planning workbook?
A: Most estate planning workbooks are written to the person filling them out. After I Leave You is written to the family reading it after you are gone. Every section speaks directly to them, explains what they are looking at, and tells them what to do next. It also covers things most workbooks skip entirely: digital accounts, social media memorialization, pet care, letters to loved ones, family stories, and a complete executor checklist with government agency phone numbers.
Q: How many sections does it cover?
A: Thirteen sections covering your personal information, professional team, legal documents, financial accounts, insurance, property, digital life, business interests, tax information, dependents and pets, funeral wishes, personal legacy, and a complete executor checklist.
FORMAT AND DELIVERY
Q: How do I receive the guide?
A: After I Leave You is available in two formats. You can order a physical printed copy shipped directly to you. Or you can choose the instant digital download, which includes a fillable PDF and an editable Word document delivered to your email immediately after purchase.
Q: What comes in the digital download?
A: Your download includes two files. The fillable PDF lets you type directly into every field on your phone, tablet, or computer. The editable Word document lets you customize every section and update it as your life changes. Both files are yours to keep, print, and update indefinitely.
Q: Can I print the digital version?
A: Yes. Both files are formatted for standard 8.5 by 11 letter-size paper. Print at home or take the file to any print shop and have it printed and spiral bound. Most print shops charge just a few dollars for binding. Many people keep one digital copy saved on their computer and one printed copy stored with their important documents.
Q: How long does the physical copy take to arrive?
A: Shipping times vary based on your location and the shipping option selected at checkout. Standard shipping is available for all domestic orders. You will receive a tracking number as soon as your order ships.
Q: Can my spouse or partner use the same guide?
A: The guide is designed for one person's information per copy. Once you purchase, you can share the digital files with a spouse or partner so each of you can fill out your own copy. Each person should maintain their own completed guide and store it separately.
FILLING IT OUT
Q: How long does it take to complete?
A: Most people complete the guide in two to four sessions of about 30 minutes each. You do not have to do it all at once. Fill out one section, close the guide, and come back when you are ready. Every section you complete is one less thing your family has to figure out on their own.
Q: Do I have to fill out every section?
A: No. If a section does not apply to you, write N/A so your family knows you considered it and it is not relevant. Skip what does not apply and focus on what does.
Q: What if my information changes?
A: Update it. That is exactly what the guide is designed for. Financial accounts change, insurance policies change, and wishes change. Review your guide once a year and after any major life event: marriage, divorce, new baby, home purchase, new business, or significant change in assets. The update log at the back of the guide lets you record every revision so your family always knows they have the current version.
Q: Do I need any special software to fill out the digital version?
A: For the Word document you need Microsoft Word or Google Docs, both of which are free or widely available. For the fillable PDF you need Adobe Acrobat Reader, which is free to download, or any modern PDF viewer. If you run into any issues accessing your files, contact us and we will help you immediately.
