How Estate Crate Helps Your Family Get Organized and Estate-Ready

How Estate Crate Helps Your Family Get Organized and Estate-Ready

When most people think of estate planning, they picture a Will — and while that’s a crucial piece, it’s only part of the puzzle. Your legacy is more than legal documents; it’s the collection of everything you’ve built, own, and cherish. At Estate Crate, we believe that the best gift you can give your loved ones is clarity — and our products are designed to deliver just that.


One of our most popular tools, the Estate Crate LW (Lightweight), is a thoughtfully designed, easy-to-use organizer that goes beyond your Will to create a full picture of your estate.


 

Why Estate Crate?

 


1. It Makes Your Will Even More Powerful

A Will outlines who gets what — but it doesn’t always say where everything is, how it’s accessed, or what you actually own. The Estate Crate LW bridges that gap by helping you document all the important information your executor and family will need:

 

  • Real estate details (primary and vacation homes)

  • Financial accounts, investment holdings, and insurance policies

  • Vehicles and personal property

  • Digital accounts and passwords

  • Legal and tax documents

  • Medical directives and personal wishes

  • Contacts and key advisors

  • And much more

 


With the Estate Crate, your Will is no longer left standing alone — it’s supported by a complete, practical inventory that eliminates confusion, delays, and stress for your family.


2. Designed for Real Life

The LW (Lightweight) version is ideal for everyday use and storage. It includes:

 

  • A durable, collapsible, fabric-covered file box

  • 20 professionally printed and labeled file folders

  • A printed 60+ page Estate Crate Guide to walk you through what to include in each section

  • A stylish and discreet design that fits seamlessly into any home office or closet

 


Unlike complex legal software or overwhelming spreadsheets, the Estate Crate is tactile, intuitive, and actually enjoyable to use. Many of our customers find it becomes a meaningful weekend project, often shared with a spouse or adult child.


3. It Brings Peace of Mind to the Entire Family

One of the most loving things you can do is spare your family the emotional and logistical stress of tracking down your affairs. Whether you’re just starting to think about your estate or have an existing Will in place, the Estate Crate helps ensure your wishes are known, your assets are accounted for, and your family is protected.


No more shoeboxes of paperwork, forgotten accounts, or frantic searches in an emergency.
