Death planning isn’t exactly the most fun thing to think about, but if you want the people you care about to have an easier time if something happens to you (whether you’re hospitalized for a while or actually pass away), gathering all your critical documents is essential. Get Your Sh*t Together! is here to help.
The site offers templates and checklists for essential documents like your will, living will, and all the nitty gritty details your loved ones should know about, such as important passwords and life insurance.
GYST was born, unfortunately, from tragedy: the site’s owner, Chanel, lost her husband in an accident and experienced extra pain and stress finding important information disorganized or missing.
Do yourself and those you love a favor and spend a little time getting everything streamlined, whether you use GYST’s templates, our own in-case-of-emergency templates, or the list of 25 essential documents from the Wall Street Journal. All three actually supplement each other.
