The First 30 Days Checklist
A printable guide with everything you need to know in the first month after a death. No email required to download — but we’ll send you a copy if you’d like one in your inbox.
Prioritized Checklist
What to do this week, what can wait, and the exact order that matters. Organized by urgency, not category — so you always know what's next.
5 Things Nobody Tells You
Banks freeze accounts the moment you call. Credit bureaus share records — you only need to notify one. Credit card companies will forgive balances if you know to ask.
Where to Find Hidden Accounts
How to pull a free credit report, search for unclaimed assets, locate unknown life insurance policies, and uncover every account they had.
Why This Exists
We’ve researched every institution so you don’t have to.
Most people don’t have a friend who’s been through this before — someone who knows that banks freeze accounts the moment you call, that credit bureaus share records so you only need to notify one, that credit card companies will often forgive the balance if you know to ask.
Afterward Guide is that friend. The one who sits down at the kitchen table with you and says: “Here’s what you do next.”
