Why I created the After I Leave You Workbook

In 2021, my mother died after a fall and a short hospital stay. Losing her was devastating, but what made it worse was not knowing where things were.

For years, my mom insisted she had life insurance, but I never asked for the details. After she died, my family searched her apartment for a policy and discovered the coverage had lapsed.

I ended up taking money from my 401K to help our family pay for her funeral. I was so hurt because if I had known she didn't have the money to pay for insurance I would have paid it myself.

The other shock came when we were sitting in the funeral home planning the service. There were so many options, but the one that stood out was whether to bury my mom or cremate her. I didn't want either and I had no idea what she would have wanted. I went with the option that was cheapest because there was no life insurance, but I am still not sure if that was what she would have wanted.

All these years later, I decided I didn't want my family to endure the added pain of searching for paperwork and making decisions when I am here now to help them, so I created the After I Leave You workbook.

I know it sounds morbid, but the truth is one day we will all pass away and while I pray that day is far off, I still would rather prepare my family now then to have them deal with so much more pain if I don't prepare them.

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.
