Clear steps to help you understand and use the handbook your loved one prepared for you
When someone dies, the practical side of life moves fast. You may be tired, shocked, and trying to make decisions you never wanted to make.
If you’ve been handed a Handbook of Your Life, this page will help you understand what it is and how to use it.
What the handbook actually is
The handbook is a personal affairs document prepared by the person who created it and trusted you to use it. It holds the information only they knew – the day-to-day details that kept their life running. In their absence, the handbook shows what their wishes were and where key information can be found.
Having this critical information helps you make important decisions – things like funeral arrangements, caring for children or pets and finalising accounts — without you having to guess.
And what about the security paperwork that came with it (if applicable)
Some details in the handbook are confidential. To protect this information, the handbook owner may have used the2DocLock™ Security System – a custom-built data protection option built and offered by Handbook of Your Life. You don’t need technical knowledge — we have created dedicated videos about this security system that will show you how to use it step-by-step.
Your next steps – as simple as 1-2-3…
Why this support exists
The person who created the handbook did it to make things easier for you. This support page exists for the same reason. Just clear steps so you can take care of what needs to be done – one step at a time.
