The Just-In-Case Folder — cover and 14 section dividers fanned out
Published by Morning Post — Australia's daily newsletter for grown-ups. Read every morning across six capital cities.
The problem

You know where everything is.
Your family will not.

Eighteen billion dollars in unclaimed super sits in lost ATO accounts. Most of it is there because someone's family didn't know to ask.

The average Australian estate takes six to twelve months to sort out. Most of that time is spent searching: bank accounts, super funds, insurance policies, subscriptions, pension paperwork, the will, the spare key to the storage shed, the password to the email that holds the rest.

We carry the map of our own lives in our heads. Without it written down, the people we love spend months — sometimes years — putting the pieces back together.

When you finish the Folder, you have one document. Your executor opens it, and they know exactly what to do.

A quick distinction

Your will says who gets what. The Folder tells your family where everything is — accounts, contacts, wishes, where the legal documents live. It doesn't replace your solicitor. It sits beside your will.

What's inside

Fourteen sections. One folder.

Each section opens with two or three sentences of orientation, then prompts you through the questions your family will need answered.

01

Personal information

Names, dates, ID numbers, the people who matter.

02

People to call first

The first phone calls. Solicitor, executor, family, GP.

03

Where I keep things

Birth certificate, will, spare keys, the safe, the deeds.

04

Money

Banks, super, investments, debts, ATO, Centrelink, DVA.

05

Property and vehicles

What you own and where the paperwork lives.

06

Insurance

Life, home, car, health — all in one place.

07

Health

Medications, doctors, advance care directive, My Aged Care.

08

Pets

The vet, the routine, who takes them.

09

Subscriptions and digital life

Email, social, streaming, password vault — what to do with each.

10

Funeral and final wishes

The big choices — written down once, gently.

11

Letters to loved ones

The hardest pages. The ones your family will keep.

12

Will and estate

Where it lives, and the questions to ask your solicitor.

13

Memory keeping

Childhood, work, the wisdom worth passing on.

14

After you're gone

The handbook your executor reads in the first week.

Hello — I'm Nathan. I publish Morning Post, the daily newsletter you may have read this morning.

I made the Just-In-Case Folder because I kept watching friends and family go through the same thing — a parent in hospital, suddenly, and the search begins. Bank cards, medications, the solicitor's name, the password to the email that holds the rest. We get there, eventually. It shouldn't be a search.

The Folder is what I wished was already filled in. It's not a will — your solicitor handles that. It's the document that tells your family where the will is. Where the bank accounts are. What your funeral wishes are. Where the spare key lives.

It's written for Australians, with our government touchpoints named correctly — Centrelink, MyGov, the ATO, My Aged Care, DVA. Not translated from American forms.

You'll fill it in across a Sunday afternoon or two. You'll put a copy with your executor and one with your spouse, and you'll feel a little lighter. That's the whole product.

FAQ

Questions worth asking.

If yours isn't here, email me — I read every reply.

Is this a Will?

No. A Will is a legal document drawn up with a solicitor that says who inherits what. The Folder is a separate document — the one that tells your family where the Will is, where the bank accounts are, what your funeral wishes are, and so on. It works alongside your Will.

Is this legal advice?

No. The Folder is a personal organisation tool. We don't give legal, financial, or medical advice. For those, talk to your solicitor, accountant, or doctor. The Folder helps you organise the information they'll need from you.

How long does it take to fill in?

Most people finish Essentials in about three hours, across one or two sittings. Complete takes about six hours, broken into 20-minute chunks. You don't have to do it all at once.

Is it Australian?

Yes — every government touchpoint is named correctly: Centrelink, MyGov, the ATO, Medicare, My Aged Care, DVA, AFCA. The Folder is written for Australians by an Australian. American workbooks don't work here; this one does.

Can I print it?

Yes. The PDF is A4 with a wide inner margin so you can three-hole-punch it and put it in a binder. You can also fill it in digitally and keep the file on your computer.

Where is my information stored?

We send you a blank PDF. If you print it and fill it in by hand, your information stays on paper. If you fill it in digitally, it stays on your own device — unless you choose to email, upload, or store it somewhere yourself. Morning Post never sees what you write down.

What if I update my information?

Re-print the page (or update the PDF). The Folder includes an "Update log" page where you note when you changed things. We also publish a free annual revision each May — existing buyers get it for free.

What's the difference between Essentials and Complete?

Essentials covers the eight practical sections most households need — money, insurance, health, digital life, final wishes. It's deliberately curated to finish in one Sunday afternoon.

Complete adds six more sections — Will & estate, the executor handbook, letters to loved ones, pets, property, and life-story prompts. If you want to "do this once and properly," Complete is the one.

Can I share my copy with my spouse?

Yes — your purchase covers your household. You can print copies for your spouse, your executor, and your immediate family. You can't resell or distribute the file commercially.

What if I'm not happy?

14-day refund, no questions asked. Click the refund link in your receipt, and we'll process it within 48 hours.

Why $29 and $49?

Because we wanted a price that was easy to say yes to and a price that reflected the work. Essentials is the practical core. Complete is the comprehensive version with the longer estate sections and the emotional pages too.
