Overview

Legacy Navigator is a private, guided organizer for the accounts, documents, and decisions your family would need to find in an emergency — or eventually, regardless. Sixteen focused tabs cover Key Contacts, Accounts & Finances, Insurance Policies, Property & Assets, Debts & Bills, Digital Life, Legal & Medical Directives, Pets, Home & Utilities, and Letters & Wishes, plus a 20-item Documents Index that tracks where your real paperwork lives.

The Dashboard tracks your overall completion percentage and a breakdown by section, so getting your affairs in order becomes a visible, doable project instead of an overwhelming someday. A printable Emergency One-Pager distills the essentials onto a single sheet for the moment it's actually needed.

This is an organizer, not a law firm — it does not draft a will or power of attorney. What it does is make sure the people who need those documents can actually find them, along with everything else that matters. Your data stays in this file — nothing is sent anywhere.

Benefits

What changes for you

Everything in one place

Instead of scattered notes, passwords on sticky notes, and 'it's in a drawer somewhere,' every account, policy, and document location lives in one file your family can actually find.

A project you can see progress on

The Dashboard's completion percentage turns 'get my affairs in order' from a vague, dreaded task into a visible project you can chip away at over a few sittings.

Peace of mind for the people you love

In an emergency, the Emergency One-Pager and Documents Index mean your family spends their energy on each other — not on a scavenger hunt.

Who it's for

  • Anyone who has been meaning to 'get organized' and hasn't started
  • Retirees and near-retirees putting their affairs in order
  • Adult children helping an aging parent get organized
  • Anyone who wants their family to have an easier moment, not a harder one

Who it's not for

  • Anyone looking for a legal document generator — this organizes and locates documents, it doesn't draft a will, trust, or power of attorney
  • Anyone wanting cloud sharing or multi-person live editing — this is a private, single-file workbook by design

Honest fit matters more to us than a sale — ask us before you buy and we'll tell you straight.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

No. Legacy Navigator is an organizer — it tells your family where your real legal documents (will, power of attorney, healthcare directive) are kept. It doesn't replace an attorney-drafted document, and we'd encourage anyone without those documents yet to work with a licensed attorney to create them.

Not at all — the Dashboard's completion tracker is designed for exactly the opposite. Most people work through a section or two at a time over a few weeks.

No. Everything is pre-built — formulas, charts, and dashboards are ready to go. You only type into clearly marked input cells (they’re highlighted), and a Welcome tab walks you through setup in about ten minutes.

Yes. The workbook is a standard Excel file (.xlsx) that works on Mac, Windows, and Excel for the web. Microsoft 365 is recommended for the best experience.

The workbooks are designed and tested for Microsoft Excel. Google Sheets can import .xlsx files, but some advanced formulas and charts may not convert perfectly, so we don’t officially support Sheets at this time.

Completely. This is a file you own, on your computer. There’s no account, no cloud sync, and no data collection — your numbers never leave the workbook.

Because these are digital files with immediate access, purchases are generally non-refundable once downloaded. If you hit a technical issue or a broken formula, email us within 30 days and we'll make it right.
