Common questions

Everything you need to know about our guides.

Is this legal, financial, or tax advice?

No. Our guides are organizational and planning tools for personal use only. They help you understand the process and stay organized, but they do not constitute legal, financial, tax, or medical advice. For matters requiring professional guidance please consult a qualified attorney, CPA, or financial advisor.

Do I need an attorney to use the Executor guide?

No. The guide is designed to work whether you have an attorney or are doing this alone. It walks you through the process in plain English, helps you stay organized, and tells you clearly when an attorney may be needed for specific steps — such as formal probate filings in your state.

What format is the Executor guide?

It is an instant PDF download. After purchase through Gumroad you receive a download link immediately. You can print it at home, save it to your device, or use it on a tablet. A paperback version will be available on Amazon soon.

What is included in the After I'm Gone Envelope Kit?

The Envelope Kit is a physical planning kit that helps you organize your critical information — contacts, accounts, wishes, documents — into a simple labeled envelope system your loved ones can access immediately when they need it. Full details are on the Etsy listing page.

How does the Complete Bundle work?

The Complete Bundle ($89) is a single Etsy order. The Legacy Arrangements Workbook and After I'm Gone Envelope Kit ship together to your address. The Executor First 90 Days arrives instantly as a PDF download attached to your order confirmation — no separate steps needed.

What if I have a simple estate — is the Executor guide still useful?

Yes, especially for simple estates. The guide tells you exactly which steps apply to your situation and which ones you can skip. Many executors of simple estates find the guide saves them dozens of hours of research and eliminates the fear of missing something important.

Can I get a refund if the guide is not right for me?

Due to the instant download nature of the PDF, all sales are final. If you experience a technical issue with your download please contact us at [email protected] and we will resolve it immediately.
