Look inside
The top of four pages, shown with sample entries for an invented household. The file you download comes blank, ready for your own entries.
What is inside
- A filled example of every One Place Binder page, labelled with the binder page it shows (the example of binder page N is on file page N + 2) and an EXAMPLE mark on each (a fictional household)
- A contents page and bookmarks that take you to the example for any binder page number
- A where-to-find guide: for 27 document types, a suggested place to look and who to ask for a copy in the US, with sources and the date each was read
- Wallet emergency cards: eight cards with typeable name, two emergency contacts and where the binder is kept, cut-line size 85.6 × 54 mm
- A gather-it-first checklist with 20 tick boxes and notes fields
What it is for
See what a filled One Place Binder page looks like, find where each kind of document might be kept and who to ask for a copy, and carry a wallet card with emergency contacts and where the binder is kept.
What you need
A PDF app that fills forms for the cards and checklist, or a printer and a pen. US Letter paper. The One Place Binder itself is sold separately; this file holds no blank binder sections.
Making it yours
Type into the wallet cards and the checklist, or print and write by hand. The examples are for reading and are not meant to be edited.
Delivery
Instant download after checkout: one PDF, US Letter. The examples and guide print as they are; the wallet cards and checklist are fillable.

Before you buy
- Not legal advice. Not a will.
- US Letter only; on A4 paper print with Fit to page, except the wallet cards, which are card size only at 100%.
- Typing tested only with pdf.js (Firefox's PDF engine); other apps not tested.
- Holds no blank binder sections: it is an add-on to the One Place Binder, which is sold separately.
- The examples show an invented household; use them to see the kind of answer, not as text to copy.
- The guide lists places to look as suggestions, not facts about where an original usually is, and names who to ask for a copy. It does not promise availability, eligibility, fees or timing; where no source was opened it says to ask the existing record holder or issuing office.
- Wallet cards carry names, contacts and where the binder is kept: no passwords, codes, medical details or full account numbers.
- Cut size measured in the PDF and on a 600 dpi render of the file; a physical print and a physical wallet were not tested.
- Typed entries use the viewer's standard Latin font: some accented letters (for example ś) may not display when typed; write those by hand.
