Why this template exists

Most emergency binders fail because there's no cover page explaining what's inside. You've done the hard work of collecting the documents, but when you hand the binder to a spouse, a solicitor, or an adult child at a stressful moment, they shouldn't have to read every page to find the will.

The cover sheet solves that. One glance tells them who the binder belongs to, what's in each section, whether it's been filed, and where to look if they need a specific document. That's the whole point of a system — it should work when you're not there to explain it.

Once your binder is organised, filedup keeps your digital copies in the same order — privately, on your iPhone, always with you.
