Frequently asked questions

How does the Inevitable Checklist work?

Think of it as your ‘break glass in case of emergency’ map. It’s a simple, one-page template where you jot down the most critical info your family needs the second you're not there to tell them. It’s designed to be the first thing they read so they aren't tearing the house apart looking for ‘that blue folder’.

Tell me more about what I get.

It’s not just a list; it’s a structured framework that covers the four big areas your family will worry about first:

  • The "Key Critical Docs" Map: Exactly where your Will, insurance, and passport are hiding.

  • The "Key People" Map: A central list of your "support team"—lawyers, accountants and even the neighbour with the spare key.

  • The "Immediate Priorities" List: A guide for the first 48 hours—pets, keys and those immediate bills that don't stop for probate.

  • The "Final Wishes" Summary: Your non-legal requests, like whether you want a quiet cremation or a full-on Viking funeral (Gary’s choice!).

Can I do it myself?

Absolutely. We’re all about keeping things simple and elegant. You don't need a lawyer or a massive filing cabinet to start—just a fair amount of time and the free guide we’ve provided. But if you do feel stuck, for under $20 we’ll give you our Inevitable Checklist template, a completed sample and a how2guide to keep you moving.

Why is the Inevitable Checklist process better?

Most people think "I’m sorted, I have a Will," but a Will is a legal document often read weeks later. It’s useless for the immediate chaos of the first 48 hours. Our checklist fills that "legal gap," providing a roadmap for the small stuff that causes the biggest headaches during the time of grief.

I'm not tech-savvy—is this all a bit complicated?

Not at all. We’re 62 and 78 ourselves—we don’t like over-complicated tech! The Inevitable Checklist is a simple one-pager. The rest of The Inevitable.LIFE system is equally straight-forward and we provide clear, step-by-step guidance so you never feel like you're climbing Mount Everest.

How long will it take me to complete my Inevitable or my DIY Checklist?

There’s a lot involved here!  How long it will take will depend on how much ‘stuff’ you’ve accumulated. It’s why we’ve designed our single-page Inevitable Checklist template to be easy and intuitive.
