Affairs in order

The hardest part of putting your affairs in order is remembering what you have.

Write it down once, at your own pace. When you are ready, Simansana fixes the record at a date and hands you a pack to take to a solicitor — so the appointment starts with the drafting, not the digging.

This pack is not a will. Simansana prepares the inventory; the drafting is your solicitor's.

Weeks, not one sitting

Nobody recalls a whole life's paperwork in an afternoon. You add things as you remember them.

Instructions, not just items

A list of accounts helps nobody. What helps is knowing where the deeds are and who holds the key.

Kindness, done early

The people who come after you will be grieving. This is the part you can spare them now.

The family tree

A family is the only record of itself.

Drawn with your relatives rather than for them, so the parts only your grandmother remembers are actually in it. It grows as people join, and it keeps growing after you.

Relatives anywhere in the world can be invited in and add what they know.

Milestones

Dates survive. Voices do not.

A birth certificate says when. Only the person can say what the day was actually like. Milestones are written in their own words, with the photographs kept beside them rather than in a drawer.

Every entry records who wrote it, so a story told with help is still plainly theirs.

1971 · Arriving

I had one suitcase and an address written on the back of a bus ticket.

1979 · The wedding

It rained the whole morning and stopped exactly when we came out.

1984 · The shop

We opened on a Tuesday because the sign painter was busy on the Monday.

Written by Mother · typed by a carer

Yours outright · help when you want it

You should not have to be good with computers to be remembered.

Plenty of people would rather talk than type. If you live in a care home, you can ask a member of its staff to type for you — and it is still your account, your telling, private to the people you have named. Your family write in the tree beside you, as its own hands. Built and run in the UK.

Ask for help

Where you live in a care home, name one of its staff to type for you. Nothing begins until they accept, and you can end it whenever you like.

Still your words

A helper reaches the tree and the stories, never your affairs, and every entry shows whose hand typed it.

The account is yours

Not your family's, not a care home's, not ours. Leave, and it all goes with you.

Start with one thing you own.

The register, the tree and the stories all begin from the same account. Add the rest when it comes to you.
