What is End-of-Life Planning?

End-of-life planning has two important parts: legal documents and practical information

Legal Planning

Handled through formal documents, usually prepared by a solicitor. These include:

  • Will
  • Enduring Power of Attorney
  • Advance Health Directive
  • Superannuation nominations
  • Other legal documents relevant for your specific circumstances

These documents give legal authority and outline your wishes.

Practical Guidance

The practical details families need access to in your absence include:

  • funeral details
  • bank accounts and insurance policies
  • service providers and key contacts
  • household details
  • digital accounts and subscriptions
  • guidance for children and pets

This information is rarely written down in one place.

By combining Legal Planning and Practical Guidance, you give loved ones the legal authority and practical information needed to finalise your affairs without confusion.

Handbook of Your Life supports the practical side of planning. Our handbooks enable you to easily document and organise the everyday information only you know.

To see how a Will and your handbook work together, read Beyond Your Will.

When something happens, families shouldn’t be left searching for answers.

Watch: Why Handbook of Your Life Was Created

Why It Matters

The most organised thing you’ll ever do for the people who matter the most – your loved ones.

  • Your family focuses on each other — not on hunting for information

  • Clear, structured guidance replaces the guesswork families face alone

  • Every account, contact, and detail — documented, indexed and ready

  • Nothing left undocumented. Nothing left to chance.

Most families don’t realise how much only you know — until the moment they need it. Your handbook changes that.

Watch: Why Handbook of Your Life Was Created

What Makes Handbook of Your Life Different

For too long, end-of-life planning has focused on death. Handbook of Your Life shifts the narrative toward getting organised in life — bringing your important information, documents and instructions together in one clear system so the people around you are never left guessing.

Printed & Ready to Use

This isn’t a download, a template or a generic book you fill in yourself. Handbook of Your Life arrives professionally printed, organised and ready to begin — with a durable zip-around binder that also holds copies of your important documents alongside your written information. Open it and start.

2DocLock™ Security System

Your most sensitive information needs protecting — but it also needs to be found when it matters most. The 2DocLock™ system is built into every handbook, keeping critical details secure while ensuring the right people can access exactly what they need when the time comes.

A Kit for All Life Stages

A single person’s planning needs are nothing like a carer’s. That’s why Handbook of Your Life isn’t one-size-fits-all. Each kit is purpose-built — for singles, couples, couples with children, single parents, carers, business owners and health events — so you’re organising what’s actually relevant to your life.

Expandable as Life Changes

Your life isn’t static and your handbook doesn’t have to be either. Free downloadable pages are available through the Customer Resources Portal, and optional add-ons let you extend the system as your circumstances change — without starting over.

Customer Resources Portal

Every handbook comes with ongoing access to the Customer Resources Portal — a dedicated space with additional pages, guidance and support to help you get the most from your handbook over time. It’s a system with continued support built in.

Guidance for Loved Ones

Knowing where to look is half the battle. Handbook of Your Life includes clear guidance for loved ones, so when the time comes they understand how to navigate what you’ve prepared — and can focus on each other instead of searching for answers.

10% of every handbook sale is donated back to the community partner who referred the customer or to our nominated charity supporting vulnerable people in the community.

I didn’t plan a business — I planned for my kids. When I realised my family would be left searching if the worst happened, I sat down and documented everything they’d need. That became Handbook of Your Life.

Testimonials

Real People Sharing the Peace of Mind Our Handbooks bring

End-of-Life Planning Handbooks for Couples with Children

Knowing that whoever has to deal with my passing will have all the information they will ever need, from my children’s food allergies to my pets routines is wonderful. Nothing else is more comprehensive. And so affordable!

Deb (Geham, Qld)

End-of-Life Planning Handbooks for Single Parents

The handbook is so thorough and absolutely invaluable for the peace of mind it provides me as a single mother, knowing I’ve provided my children the best chance at transitioning into a new life and recovery from their grief, in the event I am unable to be there for them as they grow.

Julia (Crows Nest, Qld)

End-of-Life Planning Handbooks for Singles

A great idea. Will make the most difficult time in my family’s life a lot less stressful than would otherwise be the case.

Craig (Brooloo, Qld)

End-of-Life Planning Handbooks for Single Parents

It’s something I didn’t want to think about, but I’m very glad I have this Handbook to assist me in taking over affairs for both myself and siblings if my mother were to pass away. Thank you mum for organising everything for us.

Connor (Crows Nest, Qld)

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a Will Kit?2025-08-12T20:56:56+10:00

Our End-of-Life Planning Handbooks are absolutely not a Will or Will Kit. Our Handbooks do work in perfect harmony with your existing Will and your other legal documents however. Please view our “Beyond Your Will” page for more information.

How long will it take to complete my handbook?2025-08-09T13:34:32+10:00

Set aside a few hours initially to determine the information you can fill out immediately and information and documents you still need to get. Small amounts of time across a week should see the bulk of the handbook completed.

Can I update my handbook as needed?2026-03-12T14:42:46+10:00

Yes. Your handbook can be expanded with additional information pages at any time via the Customer Resources Portal. To make updates easier, consider completing sections in pencil so details can be revised as circumstances change.

Where should I store the completed handbook?2026-03-12T14:42:00+10:00

Keep your completed handbook somewhere a trusted person can access it. For best security, store the companion document in a separate location — and make sure your trusted person knows where both are kept.

I don’t see my family or situation listed here. What should I do?2025-12-28T20:31:21+10:00

That’s more common than you think. Families aren’t one-size-fits-all. All Handbook of Your Life kits are modular, so you can add Child or Care Recipient Add-Ons where needed. If you’re unsure which handbook is the right starting point – or your situation feels more complex – get in touch and we’ll help you choose or tailor a setup that reflects your real life.
