Your family knows
where the will is.
Do they know where anything else is?
Domains. Crypto. 40,000 photos. Email accounts. Streaming services. The password manager your accounts live inside. None of that is in the will — and none of it transfers automatically.
Your digital life is
larger than you think.
The average person has 80–100 online accounts. Most estate plans address the house, the retirement accounts, the jewelry. None of them address what happens to the domain you've renewed for fifteen years, the Google Photos library with 40,000 family photos, the Apple ID that locks every device, or the crypto wallet whose location nobody knows.
Executors spend weeks — sometimes months — discovering accounts, guessing passwords, and waiting on identity-verification processes designed for the living. Some assets expire or become inaccessible entirely. Others are lost. This is a logistics problem, and it has a practical solution.
What goes in
the binder.
- Account name and platform
- Where credentials are stored (password manager, vault — never the passwords themselves)
- Who should receive access or have the account closed
- Any recovery email or phone on the account
- Registrar name and where login lives
- Renewal dates and auto-pay status
- Hosting provider and associated accounts
- Designated recipient or transfer instruction
- Each device type and physical location
- Lock / PIN storage location (where written down)
- Associated Apple ID / Google account
- Disposition instruction (transfer, wipe, donate)
- Cloud libraries and which account they live under
- Physical drives and where they are stored
- Any organized backups (external, NAS, etc.)
- Who should receive or curate the archive
- Exchange accounts and where credentials live
- Hardware wallets — what they are and where stored
- Seed phrase location reference (not the phrase itself)
- Who to contact for professional estate handling
- A plain-language cover letter for your executor
- Step-by-step access sequence for each category
- Platform-specific guidance (Apple Legacy Contact, Google Inactive Account Manager, etc.)
- Points of contact for professional support
What we never
collect or store.
We never ask for, collect, see, or store passwords, seed phrases, private keys, account numbers, PINs, or any credential. The binder records locations and instructions, not secrets. Your executor uses those locations to find and access credentials you have stored separately in your own secure locations.

A sample of the
finished binder.
The sample shows exactly how the binder is structured: table of contents, one filled inventory section with fictional entries demonstrating the "location, not credentials" principle, and an excerpt from the executor instruction letter. All data in the sample is fictional.
