Nobody is ever ready for the phone call. But what happens next isn’t the same for everyone. The first kind of family grieves while playing detective. They guess at funeral wishes. They hunt for the will. They call banks that can’t talk to them, stare at a locked phone, and watch the mail for clues about which bills exist.
Not because their families didn’t love them. Because nobody wrote anything down.
Inside, in their loved one’s own handwriting: every account and where it lives. Every policy. The people to call, in order. The wishes — down to the music. A page that says exactly what to do in the first 48 hours, the first two weeks, the first year. Even the passwords, stored the safe way, in a separate sealed section.
That binder isn’t a legal document, and it isn’t expensive. It’s an afternoon of honest paperwork that becomes the most useful thing a family owns on the worst week of their lives.
If the binder isn’t useful to you, reply to your receipt email within 30 days and we’ll refund it — no questions, no forms, no hoops. A real person (Sean, in Ohio) answers every email at support@porchlightbinder.com.
No. The files open in the free Adobe Reader on any computer — or print them and use a pen. Both versions are included.
No. It’s an organizer that makes your will (and everything else) findable and usable. We recommend everyone also have a will — and the binder gently nags you about it.
The binder uses a two-part design: the Vault section stores separately from the main binder, like cash in a safe. If you use a password manager, the Vault holds only your master key. It walks you through both options.
Understandable — that’s good instincts. Checkout is handled by Payhip and processed by PayPal or Stripe; your card details never touch our site. And the 30-day guarantee applies either way.
Yes — your purchase covers your household. Print two.
P.S. — If you’re reading this thinking of your parents rather than yourself: it makes a surprisingly beloved gift. Many families fill it out together. It tends to start conversations that were overdue anyway. Also available: the companion Password & Accounts Logbook ($17).
