What's inside

24 pages you can print or fill in

Pull out the page you need today. Reprint the trackers as often as you like.

  1. First 48 hours

    Only what can't wait, and one decision you are allowed to put off for two weeks.

  2. Death certificate order & tracker

    How many copies to order, and which office got which one.

  3. Who to tell, without repeating it

    A short message to reuse, a call log, and lists for government, banks, insurance and online accounts.

  4. Week 1, Week 2, Weeks 3 and 4

    The month broken into small steps, so you only look at this week.

  5. The house, the mail & the belongings

    Securing the home, redirecting mail, and sorting belongings without fights.

  6. Pages for you

    Going back to work, the guilt and 'what if' page, a grief check-in, and things you want to remember.

Questions

Didn't find yours? quiethoursbooks@gmail.com

What do I get, exactly?

Four PDFs in one download: the 24-page kit in A4 and US Letter, each as a print version and a fillable version, plus a short README and SOURCES.html.

I'm outside the U.S. Is this still useful?

The worksheets use U.S. words. One page points to where the official after-a-death checklists start in the UK, Canada, Australia, Ireland and New Zealand. Rules differ by country and state, so check locally before relying on a detail.

Does this replace a lawyer or the probate court?

No. It keeps track of what you've done and who you've told. For a will, probate or an estate dispute, talk to a local professional.

Do I have to do it all this month?

No. Worksheet 1 is the only page meant for the first two days. The rest can wait until you have slept.

Will it work on my phone or tablet?

Yes, with a PDF app that supports forms, such as Adobe Acrobat Reader (free). Some browser previews and phone apps don't save form entries, so type a test entry, save, close and reopen before you rely on it.

Is this medical, legal or financial advice?

These are organizational worksheets, not medical, legal or financial advice, a validated assessment or an emergency-triage tool. They don't replace prescriptions, clinical records, the current care plan or legally executed documents. For immediate danger, contact local emergency services.

What if it isn't right for me?

See the refund policy. If a file won't open, email us and we'll fix it.
