Here's something most people don't think about until it's too late:

If something happened to you tomorrow — an emergency, a hospitalization, an unexpected trip — would your partner, your family, or your housemate know where to find the information they'd need?

Most households have critical details scattered across:

• One person's memory

• Random apps and sticky notes

• Old emails and filing cabinets

• Accounts nobody else has login info for

Here are 15 things every household should have documented and accessible:

1. Emergency contacts (beyond just "Mom")

2. Medical history, medications, and provider details

3. Health insurance policy numbers and coverage

4. Bank accounts, credit cards, and investment accounts

5. Monthly bills and recurring subscriptions

6. Digital accounts — email, cloud storage, streaming, social media

7. Device passwords and unlock methods

8. Home insurance and property details

9. Utility providers and account numbers

10. Who to call for home repairs and maintenance

11. Family routines and daily responsibilities

12. Childcare or dependent care details

13. Pet care instructions and vet information

14. Where important documents are stored

15. End-of-life wishes and legacy preferences

If even a few of these made you think "I should probably write that down..." — you're not alone. That's exactly why I built The In Case of Everything Vault.

It's a comprehensive life administration workbook that helps you organize all of this in one place — calmly, clearly, and on your own timeline.

No panic. No pressure. Just preparedness.
