Have you ever paused to think about what happens if someday, unexpectedly, you pass away? What will your family go through? Have you made adequate provisions for them? Will they struggle to find documents and papers for whatever you have planned for them? Will they need your password to access them?  

Most of us avoid these conversations. It can be uncomfortable, emotional and a lot of people may not feel ready for it yet. But setting your affairs in order is not just about planning for death. It’s about making life easier for the ones you love. This is what we call end-of-life planning. 

If you are wondering what documents/information you should be making your family aware of or what documents should be shared with your family in case you pass away unexpectedly, we have got you covered. We’ve created a human-first, practical guide for everything you want to organize and share with your loved ones. Think of this as a comprehensive map for your loved ones—a way to make sure they can find what matters, when it matters most. Ensure that you save and share high-quality scans of documents, and alongside them, add clear notes or instructions on where such document is stored and any additional relevant details regarding each document. We have categorised these documents for ease of reference.
