Death is an inevitable part of life, and yet it is a topic that many people shy away from discussing. However, preparing for death is an important aspect of ensuring that your loved ones are taken care of and your final wishes are respected. One innovative solution that has gained popularity in recent years is the use of a green box, however we found most people did not know where to start.
We built Estate Crate to solve this problem.
What is a Green Box?
A green box is a simple yet powerful tool that helps individuals organize and store important documents, personal information, and final wishes in one secure place. It is a physical box, that contains everything your loved ones will need to handle your affairs after you pass away. The term 'Green Box' has gained popularity with the aging baby boomer population.
Why Should You Consider Using an Estate Crate as your Green Box?
Using an Estate Crate as a green box can provide peace of mind and make the process of handling your affairs much easier for your loved ones. Here are a few reasons why you should consider using an Estate Crate:
- Organization: Estate Crate's allow you to gather and organize all your important documents in one place, such as your will, insurance policies, bank account information, passwords, details about your residence's, finances, savings, vehicles, businesses, major assets, keepsakes, personal connections, and more!
- Accessibility: By keeping all your important information in an Estate Crate, you ensure that your loved ones can easily access it when needed. This saves them from the stress and frustration of searching for important documents during an already difficult time.
- Clarity: In your Estate Crate, we provide clear questions for you to answer and include detailed instructions regarding your final wishes, such as funeral arrangements, and any specific requests you may have. This clarity can help alleviate any potential conflicts or uncertainties among your loved ones. We encourage you to include copies of the proper legal documents within your Estate Crate.
- Peace of Mind: An Estate Crate keeps your life organized today, and allows you to easily access information many of us refer to on a daily basis. This same information will be details that your family and Executor(s) will need to utilize to distribute your estate and fulfill your wishes.
