✦ From Morning Post Why I made thisI built The Just-In-Case Folder after watching too many friends scramble through their parents' paperwork in the worst week of their lives — bank logins they didn't have, funeral wishes nobody'd written down, a will somewhere in a filing cabinet but nobody knew which one. It's the antidote to that scramble. One workbook that holds the lot. Most readers fill it in over a weekend, file it in a drawer, and sleep a little easier the night after. Today only — both ad slots are mine. Back to regular sponsors tomorrow. — Nathan |
