If something happened tomorrow, would your family know:
•Where your will is kept?
•Which banks hold your accounts?
•Which insurance policies you have?
•Who your attorney and advisor are?
•What you'd want for your service?
For most of us, the honest answer is no. Sandy Goldman writes to more than 100,000 readers every day about life after sixty-five, and this planner was made to close that gap. Warm, clear, and practical enough to actually finish.
This isn't about dying. It's about who you leave behind.
When the time comes, your family won't be calling banks and searching drawers. They'll open this and find answers instead of guesses, because you already took care of it.

Press Ctrl+S (Windows) or Cmd+S (Mac) after you type. Come back whenever life changes.
Keep it somewhere safe and let someone you trust know where to find it. That's what turns it into a gift.
Don't try to do it all at once. Start with the six moves at the front of the planner, the handful of things that matter most, and come back to the rest over time.

Buying it for someone you love? It makes a thoughtful, practical gift.
Plus a survivor guide, a directory of verified resources, guided letters, and conversation scripts.
Is this a printed book that arrives in the mail?
No. It's a digital download, yours the moment you pay. Nothing ships and nothing expires. If you prefer paper, you can print it at home.
There are free checklists online. What makes this different?
Most free checklists are a few pages of blanks. When I'm Gone is 111 pages in large print, with plain-language guidance before every section, a step-by-step guide for your family, guided letters, conversation scripts, and a directory of verified phone numbers and websites. It's built to be finished, not just downloaded.
How do I get it after I pay?
The download appears on your screen right away, and we also send it to your email. If you don't see the email within a few minutes, check your spam folder.
Can I fill it in on my phone or tablet?
You can open and read it on any device. For typing into the fields, a computer works best: the screen is bigger and it's easier to save your progress.
Do I have to print all pages?
No. Inside you'll find the page range for each phase, so you can print one at a time, whenever you're ready for it.
Is my information private?
Yes. The file lives on your own computer, and nothing you type is sent to us. Keep it somewhere safe, and tell one trusted person where to find it.
Does this replace a will or legal advice?
No. When I'm Gone helps you organize your information and wishes, but it isn't a legal document. For a will, power of attorney, or estate planning, talk to a qualified attorney or financial professional.
Something went wrong with my order. Who do I talk to?
Reply to any 65Nation email and a real person will sort it out.
The best time to write it down is while you still get to choose the words.
