To make sure your family can reach your accounts after you die, set up the free legacy tools first: Apple Legacy Contact, Google Inactive Account Manager, a Facebook legacy contact and your password manager’s emergency access. Then write down where everything is, without writing down a single password. This 13-page printable organizer walks you through both, for US users.
Most families get stuck on three things: a locked phone, sign-in codes sent to that phone, and company rules that keep email and photos private even from next of kin. Knowing a password is often not enough.
What is inside
- How access works after a death: a plain-language summary of US rules (RUFADAA) and what Apple, Google, Facebook, Instagram and Microsoft each offer today
- Step-by-step setup for Apple Legacy Contact, Google Inactive Account Manager, Facebook legacy contact, and Bitwarden or 1Password emergency access
- Access map: where your password manager, recovery codes, authenticator app and phone passcode are kept
- Fill-in pages for your people, devices, backups, email, banks, investments and crypto, bills, subscriptions, shopping, social media, photos, websites and domains
- My wishes page for social media, email, photos and things to delete
- A checklist for your family: what to do in the first week, first month and later
- Yearly review log
Built to be safe
The kit never asks for passwords or account numbers. It records where things are and who can reach them, so a lost copy does not unlock your accounts.
Questions
Is this a legal document? No. It is an organizer and general information. Your will, trust or power of attorney should come from a licensed attorney in your state; the kit tells you what to ask them to include.
Do I need a password manager? No, but it makes things far easier. The kit shows how to set up emergency access if you have one, and a sealed-envelope method if you do not.
Can I fill it in on screen? It is designed to print and fill in by hand, then keep with your important papers.
