The Death Checklist
A calm, practical document for the things no one wants to think about, but everyone eventually has to deal with.
Families fall apart because things weren’t organised or written down. This is not about being morbid. It is about being responsible.
If you died unexpectedly, life wouldn’t pause.Decisions would still need to be made. Systems would still need access. Children would still need steadiness.
This checklist exists to:
- Reduces conflict
- Prevents guessing
- Protects children
- Preserves sibling relationships
- Removes unnecessary stress during grief
It allows the people you love to grieve, not administrate chaos.
What this is
This is a comprehensive, plain-language checklist designed to help you get your ducks in a row.
It covers:
- Legal foundations and authority
- Superannuation and death benefit nominations
- Digital access and passwords
- The home and daily logistics
- Children, guardianship, and care
- Adult children, sibling boundaries, and estate conflict prevention
- Assets people forget
- Work, business, and income continuity
- Government systems (Australia-specific)
- Personal wishes and funeral guidance
- Letters and guidance for loved ones
- Emergency protocols
- Storage, access, and review
It is written so real people can actually use it.
What this is not
This is not a will. This is not legal advice. This is not therapy.
It is preparation. Think of it as the document you fill out before you ever sit in front of a lawyer, or the one you wish existed when someone else died and nothing was clear.
Who this is for
- Parents
- Partners
- Adults with responsibility
- People who don’t have “assets” but do have people
- Anyone who has ever thought, “I should really sort this out”
You do not need to be wealthy to need this. You just need to care about what happens after you’re gone.
