Nothing you typed goes with it. Just the tool and the link.
The short answer
The Folder is the map of where everything lives: which bank, which insurer, which drawer, which password manager. It holds locations, never credentials. Fill it once, share it with the people who'd need it, and update it when accounts change, because an out-of-date map sends your family to the wrong bank.

Before you start
Build one handoff packet from the contacts, document locations, account hints, digital access notes, and wishes you enter. It isn’t a place to write passwords down in public. It’s the map that says where the real thing lives. Keep it current, because an out-of-date folder sends people to the wrong bank.

When you die, someone will need about twenty pieces of information in the first week. Who to call. Where the signed will is. Which banks hold accounts. What you wanted done with your body. This tool puts the details you enter into one handoff packet, reducing what someone has to search for. Once you have Premium, your work saves in this browser first and syncs to your account.
This packet is practical guidance for your people, not a legal document.
