Frequently asked questions

How does the Inevitable Checklist work?

Think of it as your 1-page 'break glass' roadmap where you capture the vital details your family needs for those first difficult days—before the Will is even opened

Can I do it myself?

Absolutely. You can build this from scratch using our free guide, but if you’d rather skip the trial and error, our $19 template does the heavy lifting for you—turning a daunting weekend project into a focused afternoon task.

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: A GPS for your original Will, insurance and property deeds so they aren't lost in the sprawl.

  • 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!).

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. A Will handles the money, but our Checklist handles the legal gap that can overwhelm loved ones during those first difficult days.

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

Not at all. We’re 62 and 78 ourselves. We’ve designed this to be as easy as writing a letter. You don't need to learn any new or fancy technology; if you can type a message or print a page, you have all the skills needed.

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

While everyone’s ‘stuff’ is different, we’ve designed the $19 Checklist to be completed in one sitting. It’s a straightforward process that gives your family immediate clarity without turning your afternoon into a daunting chore.
