Before The Chaos

What’s Inside

The planner is divided into three sections:

  1. Life Planning: Medical history, personal info, medication list, insurance and provider info

  2. Transition: DPOA, Advance Directives, living will, letters to loved ones

  3. After Death: Funeral preferences, account info, key contacts, checklists, military records
