The title page of The Just-in-Case Family Records Binder, as it prints.

Where the household's practical information is written down, so somebody else could find it without you.

What is in it

Household at a glance; Emergency contacts; People and dependants, including a pet care plan; Health and care index; Important documents; Home and property; Financial index; Insurance and protection; Work and business, including small business continuity; Digital life index and devices; People to notify; Preferences and practical wishes; Review and maintenance; Notes.

Why this rather than a free emergency binder

The free ones are preparedness kits: evacuation plans, grab-bag lists, supply checklists. This is the other job. It is the index somebody reads when the routine has already broken and they need to find the insurer, the landlord or the vet.

It also declines to do one thing the free templates do. It does not collect your passwords. Page 3 asks for locations and references instead, because a binder that becomes a password file is a binder you cannot safely leave in a drawer.

Five sections have no counterpart in the free sets: the digital account index and devices on pages 40 to 42, people to notify on 44 and 45, preferences and practical wishes on 47 to 49, small business continuity on 38, and the annual review log on 51 and 52.

Format

63-page A4 PDF. Print the pages you need, or write on the file in a compatible annotation app. Working pages repeat so you can reprint them.

What it is not

It is an organisational reference, not legal, financial or medical advice. Wills, powers of attorney, advance directives and estate arrangements belong with the appropriate qualified professionals, which the note on page 2 states plainly.
