Family Paperwork

Family Paperwork

Plain-language organizers for families facing a medical crisis, a long decline, or a loss.

Three Books For Three Stages

Each book covers a different moment a family faces: getting organized before anything happens, managing a loved one's affairs when they no longer can, and settling an estate after a death. Every book comes as a paperback or a printable PDF.

A bound book with large 8.5 x 11 inch pages, printed on white paper and sold on Amazon. It's a good choice if you want everything in one place on a shelf, or you're giving it as a gift.

The Printable PDF

An instant download you print at home on standard US Letter paper. Print the whole book for a three-ring binder, or only the pages you need. When the medication logs, ledgers, or diary pages fill up, print more.

About The Author

Zachary Perlman has worked as a legal assistant in estate planning and trust administration, a notary public, and a professional caregiver. In each role he has watched families struggle through a medical crisis, a long decline, or a death while searching for documents, accounts, and answers. He writes practical, plain-language organizers that help families prepare ahead of time and help the people who step in when they're needed.

Every organizer is designed to be safe to fill out. None of them ask for full account numbers, Social Security numbers, or passwords. Instead, they ask where things are kept, which is what a family actually needs to know.
