Common Questions.
Everything you might be wondering about the guides and the process.
About the Guides
What is the Core Planning Kit, and who needs it?
The Core Planning Kit is the foundational guide for organizing your wishes, documents, and important details. It’s designed for anyone who wants a clear starting point for end-of-life planning.
What are Additional Guides, and how do I know if I need them?
Additional Guides are context-specific resources for situations that need more detailed care — such as caregiving, chosen family, living abroad, or unique responsibilities. Use them only if they apply to your life; the Core Planning Kit is sufficient for most people.
Can I use the guides at my own pace?
Absolutely. These resources are here for when you’re ready. You can start, pause, and revisit sections as your planning needs evolve.
Is this a legal service?
No. Timeless Guides and Timeless Tributes provide organizational tools and reflection prompts. While these can help you prepare for meetings with lawyers, financial advisors, or other professionals, they do not replace professional legal or financial advice.
Buying and Using the Guides
How are the guides delivered?
All guides are hosted on Etsy. After purchase, you’ll receive a secure download link for the PDF files.
Can I download the guides more than once?
Yes! Once purchased, your files remain available through your Etsy account for repeated downloads.
Can I print the guides?
Absolutely. The PDFs are designed to be printable, so you can fill them out digitally or on paper — whichever works best for you.
Can I skip sections or customize the templates?
Yes. Each guide is flexible — you can focus only on what’s relevant to your situation and update your plans over time.
Inclusivity and Personalization
My life is different — can I still use these guides?
Yes. The Core Planning Kit covers what most lives have in common, while Additional Guides support a wide range of situations, including modern families, LGBTQ+ considerations, people living abroad, or caregiving responsibilities.
Can someone else help me fill this out?
Yes, these guides are designed to be collaborative if that’s helpful. Trusted friends, family members, or professional advisors can work through them with you.
Practical Reassurance
What if I don’t understand some of the legal or medical terms?
No worries. We focus on the human decisions that matter most. Any technical questions can be saved for your legal or medical professionals.
What happens if I start and then stop?
That’s perfectly fine. These guides are flexible — you can return to them whenever you’re ready. Planning at your own pace is encouraged.
