Binders for family papers

Contacts, medicines, bills and documents in one binder somebody else could follow. Start free; the full kit is there when ten pages stop being enough.

Which binder is right for you

Gifts & family stories

A memory book that asks a parent or grandparent for their stories, from the house they grew up in to the advice they want to pass on. Eighty pages and nearly 300 questions in 14 chapters, with ten easy questions to start and a printable gift certificate to put in a card. Not sure yet? Read the free question lists taken from it.

Large Print Puzzle Books

Puzzle and activity books for parents and grandparents, in big, clear print on US Letter pages. Word searches, crosswords, trivia and conversation pages, with the answers at the back. Print as many copies as you like for your own family.

One topic at a time

Short binders that each do one job, from $6.99 to $11.99: medicines and doctors, an emergency plan, where the papers are kept, a letter for the family, and a checklist for an executor. The Family Kit above has shorter versions of the first four. It has no executor checklist.

How the binder pages look

Each section has its own soft color band across the top, a colored side tab and a few small folk-art flowers. The rest of the page is white, with room to write.

A binder like this gets printed at home, on a home printer. The pages print in color, or in black and white if you would rather save the color ink.

The type is set in Atkinson Hyperlegible, a typeface drawn to stay readable for people with low vision. Field labels are large enough to read across a kitchen table, and the writing lines are far enough apart for a pen held by someone in a hurry.

What you get with every binder

• US Letter, one-sided, with three-hole margins already built into the left edge.
• An instant download link by email, and it keeps working for thirty days, so you can print one page again later.
• Facts with a source. Where a page states a rule — how long to keep a tax record, what a bank needs to release a safe deposit box — it names the agency the rule comes from, so you can check it.
• No legal forms. No will, no power of attorney, no medical directive. Those are written by an attorney and the rules differ by state. These pages record where the signed originals are.
• Fourteen days to change your mind, no questions, on anything paid. See the terms.
