What this actually is
What you leave sits across three systems that do not talk to each other, and nobody is in charge of joining them up. That job lands on the people you love, in the worst week of their lives.
It names who inherits. It does not say where the accounts are, what the passwords are, or what you wanted. An executor can hold a perfectly valid will and still have no idea where to start.
Super does not simply follow the will, and an old fund from an old job is the most commonly lost thing in an estate. Most people have never told anyone the fund exists.
Banking, insurance, the mortgage, the utilities, the digital life. Every one held by a different organisation, every one with its own process, and not one of them will ring your family first.
The plan inside it
Not a list of chapters. The actual sequence, from the first few hours through to closing the estate. The first stage of it is in the free toolkit, so you can read it before you buy anything.
STAGE 1
Secure · Notify · Record
Secure the home. Find the will, and find this book. The doctor's certificate, then registering the death. Order several certificates, not one. Tell the employer about final pay, leave and super.
STAGE 2
Notify · Claim · Protect
Probate where it is needed. The banks, the super funds, Centrelink, the insurers. Cancel or transfer the services. Claim the life insurance and the super. Identify the debts and keep the urgent bills paid.
STAGE 3
Settle · Account · Distribute
The grant of probate, then an estate account. Collect the assets, pay the debts in the right order, lodge the final tax return, deal with the property, then distribute and keep the records.
Timeframes vary between states and territories, and every estate is different. The Organiser points your executor to the right professional at each step rather than guessing on their behalf.

The person behind it
I am not a lawyer or a financial planner. I watched two families try to sort out an estate and saw how hard it is when nothing is written down. So I built what I wished they had: one place, plain language, no jargon, done quietly before it is needed.
What readers are saying
"It has exceeded my expectations by a country mile. Such a beautifully written document is priceless."
Merryl
"You've given me a way of putting those experiences into easy to navigate and understand instructions for my family. You've done the heavy lifting."
GE, Perth WA, 71
"I have seen binders on the market, but none have the depth of content that you have."
Jacqui, Perth WA, 58
"There is so much in it we had not thought about. It is invaluable."
Julie

Joe, Torquay VIC, 83

Wendy, Melbourne VIC, 68
"A comprehensive, thorough, and professional book. I am looking forward to filling it out."

"I really like the explanation at the beginning of each section, outlining what it is about and why. It sets the tone and purpose."
Nicola, Mona Vale NSW, 55
"I used to work for lawyers, so Wills were a daily situation. I believe everyone with assets needs one."

Questions
The things people ask before they decide.
A will says who inherits. It does not tell anyone where your accounts are, what your passwords are, which super funds exist, or what you wanted for your funeral. Your executor can be holding a perfectly valid will and still have no idea where to start. The Organiser sits beside the will and answers all of that.
Some of it is, and where a government service is the right answer we point you at it. What no government site does is put your accounts, your passwords, your funds, your wishes and your contacts into one document your family can pick up and follow. The information is scattered across a dozen departments by design.
It matters more, not less. A large estate usually has a solicitor and an accountant already involved. A modest one is where a forgotten super fund or a missing password does real damage, and where there is no professional standing by to sort it out.
What the book records is the same everywhere: your accounts, your funds, your passwords, your wishes, your people. That does not change at a state border. Where the rules do differ, probate, registering a death, some of the forms, the Organiser points your executor to the right office in your state rather than guessing on their behalf.
It feels that way for about ten minutes. Then it feels like relief. The morbid version is the one where your family is guessing, ringing around, and opening drawers. Most readers tell us the odd thing is how calm they felt once it was done.
A first pass in an afternoon gets the important things down. After that it is ten quiet minutes here and there. Nobody fills it in from cover to cover in one sitting, and it is not meant to be done that way.
No. It is big because it covers a whole life, and you have had a lot of life. But not every section applies to everyone. If your children are grown, the dependants section is a page you skip. No property overseas, skip foreign assets. Each chapter has a "does not apply to me" tick, and the contents page keeps track. Some sections take a while, some take a minute, some you never open. What matters is that every section you could need is in there.
Yes. It is a file you fill in on your own computer, or a book you fill in with a pen. Nothing is stored online or in anyone's cloud, so there is nothing to be breached. Where you keep it is entirely up to you. Keep it somewhere sensible, and tell one person you trust where it is.
No. One payment, once. No account to log into, no renewal, no annual fee. Updates to the document are yours to keep.
No, and that is by design. The Estate Organiser is a place to record your information and wishes. It is not a will, and it does not replace your solicitor or accountant. It makes sure that when your family needs those professionals, they can find everything fast. Rules vary across Australian states and territories, so confirm the specifics with your own advisors.
One last thing
One document. Done once, updated yearly. Quietly, it might be the kindest thing you ever leave behind.
