The plan you'll wish your parents already had
One day, you will have to go through their drawers, their accounts, their passwords. Don't be left with a scavenger hunt.
When the day comes for your parents, there's a stretch of admin no will can cover — frozen bank accounts, bills that keep arriving, accounts and policies no one else knew about, and a locked phone you can't get past. Leave It Sorted is the practical step-by-step plan for exactly that: what to do, who to contact, and in what order — so you aren't left guessing while you're already grieving.
- Covers the first week, the first month, and the first six months after loss — every step, in order
- A step-by-step plan plus fill-in records to complete with your parents — guided prompts, no blank pages, no awkward conversation to start from scratch
- Built to work in the UK, US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand — wherever mum and dad live, it fits
- Instant email delivery — print at home, sit down with your parents this weekend
- One-off payment · no subscription · 30-day money-back
When they're gone, the admin doesn't stop. It lands on you.
Between the day it happens and the day everything's finally sorted, there's a stretch of admin no one prepares you for — a sequence of deadlines, institutions and decisions to face while you're grieving. Solicitors have a name for it. Adult children just call it the nightmare. Here's what it actually looks like — and why you don't want to walk into it blind:
The scavenger hunt
You, going drawer by drawer through old statements and a locked phone, trying to work out which banks, which pensions and which policies your parents even had.
Money frozen, bills still coming
Their bank accounts freeze the moment the news is received. Many won't release a penny without formal probate — while the mortgage, the utilities and the bills keep arriving through the door, and often you end up paying them out of your own pocket.
The forgotten policy
A pension your parents forgot to mention. A life insurance policy signed years ago. An account with a modest balance that quietly disappears because no one thought to look. Money that was meant for you and your siblings, gone — simply because nobody had the list.
of adult children say sorting out a parent's affairs was stressful or extremely stressful, and roughly a third of them had never done it before — learning the whole system while grieving.
Bereavement research, cross-market averages · UK / US / AU"Surely we'll work it out?"
You'd work it out eventually — over many stressful months, with frozen accounts, missed deadlines and forgotten policies along the way. You don't just need their information. You need a plan — what to do, who to contact, and in what order. And the only person who can help you build it now is them.
One system. Three kits. Choose the one that fits your parents' situation.
The essential plan if your parents' situation is simple. The complete kit for most families. The ultimate suite for larger estates or when there are several siblings to keep on the same page.

One simple plan, in three clear stages — so you know what to do at every step.
Each stage tells you exactly what to do next — so you don't have to improvise while grieving, and nothing important gets missed.
Securethe urgent things
The first actions, in the right order: the paperwork that has to be filed first, ordering enough certified copies (adult children always order too few), locating your parents' will, confirming the executor, arranging the service, and freezing what needs to be frozen.
Notifythe right people, in order
The plan walks you through everyone who needs to know — banks, mortgage or landlord, insurers, utilities, employer, subscriptions, workplace and private pensions — with a complete register of every account your parents held and ready-to-adapt notification letters, so you're not writing them from a blank page.
Settleit properly
The steps to actually close the estate: the valuation, any taxes due, outstanding debts, property, digital assets and the final distribution among you and your siblings — with the document checklist any solicitor or professional will ask you for, ready in the right order.
Two things in one kit: the plan you'll follow, and the records your parents fill in so it works.
- The Start Here Card — the first actions to take, in the right order.
- The step-by-step action plan — three-stage checklists (Secure · Notify · Settle) that walk you through every stage.
- The Accounts & Assets Register — your parents' bank accounts, savings, investments, pensions and life insurance, mapped in one place so you don't have to guess.
- The Document & Key Locator — where the will, deeds, keys and safes are kept, plus phone PIN, email and cloud access so you aren't locked out of their digital life.
- Important Contacts — their solicitor, executor, GP, accountant, next of kin — all the numbers you'd otherwise dig for.
- Funeral & Final Wishes — service, burial or cremation, music, readings, notification list.
- 12 Notification Letters & Templates — ready to adapt for banks, insurers, utilities, employer.

Three simple steps.
Download
Get the kit in your inbox and print it — one copy for you, one for your parents.
Fill it in
Sit down with your parents and fill it in together — guided prompts, no blank pages, no awkwardness.
Leave it sorted
Keep it somewhere safe — when the day comes, you know exactly what to do.
I sat down with mum and dad one rainy Sunday afternoon. It isn't a notebook — it's a plan I can actually follow. Such a relief to finally have it done and know I won't be left guessing when the day comes.
"In practice, two kinds of adult children walk through the door. The ones who arrive with a plan — ordered, filled in with their parents beforehand — leave with the estate mapped out in an hour. The ones who arrive with nothing are told, gently, that this will take many months. Both loved their parents just as much. The only difference was that one of them had a plan to follow."
When the day comes, there are two versions of it — and you're in both of them.
Without a plan
- You, turning out drawers, looking for accounts no one knew existed
- You re-explaining the story on call after call, in no order
- A pension or policy found years too late — or not at all — money that was meant to be yours
- Their money frozen while the mortgage and bills keep coming — often paid from your pocket
- Settlement stalled for want of one missing document you can't find
- You locked out of their phone, email, cloud, subscriptions
- Funeral wishes argued over with your siblings, because no one was sure
- One of you carrying it all, the others second-guessing
- Grief, with months of admin piled on top
With the plan
- Every account, pension and policy already listed — you know what exists
- You have a clear order of who to contact, and what to say
- Nothing valuable quietly lost
- You know exactly what steps to take, and when
- Settlement paperwork gathered, in order
- Their phones, emails, and accounts accessible to you when needed
- Funeral wishes written down, clearly
- No one left guessing, no sibling left blamed
- Room for you to actually grieve
What adult children (and their parents) are saying.
I can finally stop lying awake about it
I now have a clear plan to follow — mum walked me through the pensions she'd half-forgotten, the policies, the order to do things in. One quiet afternoon and it was done.
I saw what my dad went through — I refused to do the same
When my grandmother passed, I watched my dad learn the hard way how much they ask for. When it came to my parents, I wasn't going to walk in blind. This lays out exactly what to do and when. Sensible, calm, not morbid — a real weight off.
The calmest conversation we've ever had
I bought it and sat down with my parents over Sunday lunch. We followed the steps together — no drama, no awkwardness, just sorted.
It's a plan, not a pile of paper
What sold me is that it tells you what to do, step by step. I wouldn't have known where to begin with my mum's affairs — now I have a plan I can simply follow.
My siblings and I are finally on the same page
My mum always handled the paperwork. Now if anything happens, my brothers and I just open the kit and follow the steps together. An enormous weight off all our shoulders.
Peace of mind about their phones and emails
I always worried about being locked out of my parents' phones and emails. Now everything I'd need to get in is safely recorded in one place. A huge relief.

Everything you might be wondering.
Is it just a place to write things down?
No — that's the important bit. It's a step-by-step plan: what to do, who to contact and in what order, across the first week, first month and first six months when the day comes. The fill-in records (your parents' accounts, pensions, policies, digital access) feed that plan so you can simply follow it.
My parents already have a will — do we still need this?
A will says who inherits. It doesn't give you a plan for what to actually do — where everything is, which pension to call, what to cancel, who to contact first, how to get into your parents' phone. That practical plan is exactly what the kit provides. The two work together.
Does it work in my parents' country?
Yes. The kit is written to work across the UK, US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand — the practical logic of settling an estate is remarkably similar in all five, and we've deliberately kept the content universal so it doesn't lock you into any one legal system. If a specific local document or contact matters for your parents' situation, there's space to add it.
Is it a physical product you post to me?
No. It's delivered instantly by email. You print it at home and keep it together in one place — so there's nothing to wait for, and nothing to lose in the post.
How do I get my parents to actually share their passwords?
The Document & Key Locator section gives you the exact way to have that conversation — plus clear guidance on where the password page should be kept (a locked drawer, a home safe, or a password manager with an emergency access contact) and how they can tell you how to get to it only when you need to. This is the single most common blocker for adult children, and the kit handles it head-on.
What happens to my parents' Google / Apple / Facebook accounts?
The Document & Key Locator walks your parents through setting a legacy contact on the major platforms (Apple, Google, Facebook, Instagram) — typically you — and recording the access information you'll need, so photos, memories and accounts don't get locked away forever.
Isn't it a bit morbid to bring up with my parents?
It's the opposite. This is organising, not dying — no different from asking mum where the boiler manual is. Most adult children tell us the conversation was far less awkward than they feared: the kit gives you the prompts, so you're not starting from a blank page. And most parents feel real relief once the plan is in place — like a weight lifted off, not put on.
What if it isn't right for our family?
Email us within 30 days and we'll refund you in full — no forms, no questions asked. If the kit doesn't feel like it belongs in your home, you shouldn't be paying for it.
