CLEAR Kit Notifications Information Hub

The CLEAR Kit can only help if the right people know it exists and where to find it. We recommend notifying at least three trusted individuals about the purpose and location of your CLEAR Kit. This simple step can prevent confusion, reduce stress during emergencies, and ensure that your wishes are carried out.

People to consider notifying include:

  • Your executor
  • Trustee(s)
  • Key family members and friends
  • A trusted neighbor
  • Your attorney
  • Your financial advisor
  • Anyone else who may need access or guidance

To make it easy, we’ve created a ready-to-use template you can email, print, or mail. Just cut and paste the text below, edit it to reflect your details, and send. This small action helps ensure your CLEAR Kit can serve its purpose when it matters most.

Notify The Right People

Why CLEAR Kit Notifications Matter

One of the biggest failures in estate organization is not the lack of information. It is that no one knows where to find it.

The CLEAR Kit Notification Templates exist for one purpose: to make sure the right people know that the CLEAR Kit exists, where it is located, and that it should be used when action is required.

Without clear notification, even the best-organized system can be overlooked.

Who Should Receive a CLEAR Kit Notification

Notification templates are typically sent to:

  • Executors or personal representatives
  • Trusted family members
  • Close friends likely to help
  • Agents under powers of attorney
  • Trustees or successor trustees
  • Caregivers or key helpers

The goal is not to notify everyone. The goal is to notify the people most likely to step in.

When CLEAR Kit Notifications Are Used

Notifications may be sent:

  • After completing your CLEAR Kit
  • After a major update
  • When appointing or changing an executor or agent
  • After a move
  • As part of an annual review

They are especially important before an emergency occurs.

What CLEAR Kit Notifications Communicate

A strong notification clearly states:

  • That a CLEAR Kit exists
  • Where the CLEAR Kit is stored
  • How it should be accessed
  • Who is authorized to use it
  • What to do if the notifier becomes incapacitated or dies

The message should be factual, calm, and easy to understand.

Templates

The following templates are intentionally simple. Their goal is awareness, not instruction. They make sure your work is discoverable and usable when it matters.
