What My Family Needs to Know
One person always knows where everything is. If you were unavailable for three weeks, could anyone keep your life running? Most of this book is about exactly that.

What’s inside
- The basics: the emergency card to photocopy, who to tell and in what order, where documents and keys live, a full digital inventory, the house, the car, the animals, and the operational knowledge only you currently hold.
- The paperwork: what documents exist — and honestly, what doesn't — plus question packs for the attorney, the financial professional, and the insurer, so an expensive hour is spent on advice instead of admin.
- The wishes: care preferences ready for a real conversation, belongings and the stories behind them, and ten letters.
- Keeping it current: the yearly hour, eight annual review pages, and a change log, so it never becomes a beautiful, out-of-date museum piece.
- Safe to keep by design: every page records locations and hints — never passwords, PINs, or full account numbers.
Who this is for
This is the paper companion to the systems in our documents guides: a complete life and affairs organizer, written so that whoever picks it up can keep the household running without a scavenger hunt. Only one of its four parts is about the far end; the rest is about a hospital stay, an accident, or three unexpected weeks abroad.
Published through Amazon under our imprint, Second Bloom Press. The pages are standard size, so any of them photocopies.
