Life Admin for the season you're in.
The records, letters and checklists that only matter once something happens — sorted before you need them, in files you own. Pick the situation you’re in — 12 of them, each with the guides and templates built for it.
- New homeowners The first year in a new house: what to do in week one, who needs your address, what's still under warranty, and what the place actually costs to run.
- Homeowners Running a home you already own — the shutoffs, the house-sitter pages, the maintenance schedule, and the renewals that cost money if they're missed.
- Renters Repair requests in writing, deposit-return and deduction disputes, and the tenancy paperwork you'll need to prove months later.
- Roommates Split rent and bills, see who owes whom, run a chore rotation, and write down the house agreement — in one file the whole house can see.
- Caregivers The work of looking after someone: vital-signs and medication logs, medical-expense tracking, records binders, and the scripts for hard conversations.
- Disability claimants A disability or SSDI claim, organized — appeal-deadline clock, medical-evidence index, work history, and a symptom log in your own hands.
- Disaster recovery After a fire, flood, or storm: a room-by-room loss inventory, a claim log, living-expense and receipt tracking, and the deadlines that decide the payout.
- New parents Planners and trackers for the newborn stretch — shower and gift planning, household systems that survive no sleep, and medical costs logged as they land.
- Family historians Keepsake record-keeping — a 200-question life-story interview journal, a family recipe heritage binder, and the records worth passing on.
- Families Household paperwork for a family: fillable consent letters, agreements, a bill of sale, and binders for the records everyone eventually needs.
- Grandparents A life-story journal with 200 questions to ask or answer, a recipe heritage binder, and estate and home-inventory pages to fill in and hand down.
- Retirees The retirement years on paper — a where-to-retire scorer, retirement and mortgage-payoff math, an aging-in-place planner, and an estate binder.
