You share a life — but could either of you step in and manage everything tomorrow?

Do you both know how to care for the pets if one of you could not? Where the important legal and financial documents are kept? Which bills are paid by whom, what is due each month and what still needs to be done?

Most couples divide and conquer without really thinking about it. One manages the insurance. The other handles the household accounts. One knows the pet routines and vet details. The other knows where the important papers, records and passwords are kept.

It works — until one person is left trying to piece it all together while dealing with illness, loss or a crisis.

The Couples Handbook Kit is a practical, printed end-of-life planning system that brings the important parts of your shared life into one clear place. So you both have a fuller picture now and far less is left to untangle when it matters most.

Each Handbook Kit - A Complete EcoSystem

Inside Your Couples Handbook

The Couples Handbook brings your shared life together across 5 tabbed sections:

  • 1. Upon My Passing (For Him) – Everything your partner may need following your passing, from funeral wishes and financial accounts through to the personal details only you would know.

  • 2. Upon My Passing (For Her) – Everything your partner may need following your passing, from funeral wishes and financial accounts through to the personal details only you would know.

  • 3. Household Affairs – Most couples don’t manage everything equally — and that’s fine, until one of you isn’t there. This section documents the full picture of how your household runs, so your partner isn’t left guessing about bills, utilities, accounts or service providers.

  • 4. Appendix – A summary of your important scanned, copied or printed documents — stored together in the back of your Handbook for easy access when it matters most.
  • 5. Legal Documents – A dedicated section to house your Will, Advance Health Directive, Enduring Power of Attorney and any other legal documents relevant to your end-of-life planning — all in one place

Testimonials

What are people saying about the Couples Handbook Kit?

Over 30 years ago, after being diagnosed with leukaemia and facing a high-risk bone marrow transplant, I made sure my affairs were in order to give my heavily pregnant wife some peace of mind should the worst happen.

Fast forward 30 years, and life is far more complicated — with a family, children and assets. Handbook of Your Life is exactly what I could have used back then, and is just as valuable now. It’s prompted me to organise important information, consider things I’d never thought of, and, most importantly, given me peace of mind that my family will be better prepared if anything happens to me.

A comprehensive and incredibly useful resource. Best to be prepared!

Frequently Asked Questions

A Will is an important legal document that outlines how your estate is distributed after death. The Couples Handbook records the personal, practical and household information a Will typically doesn’t cover, helping your partner manage day-to-day affairs with greater confidence and less confusion.

Yes. The Couples Handbook is designed for two partners and includes dedicated sections for each person, allowing both individuals to record their information, wishes, instructions and important personal details in one organised system.

The handbook covers a wide range of topics including personal information, household affairs, financial records, insurance, health information, key contacts, digital assets, legal document references, funeral wishes and personal messages for loved ones.

Absolutely. The Couples Handbook is specifically designed for couples without dependent children. If you have children living at home or dependants you care for, the Couples with Children Handbook may be a better fit.

No we do not recommend that approach. The handbook works alongside the 2DocLock™ Security System, which helps you reference sensitive information without recording passwords or highly confidential access details directly within the handbook itself.
