Guided by Ranger

End of Trail Planner

A Free Guide to Your Final Arrangements

Protection for every trail you take — including the last one. This planner gathers the details your family would otherwise have to hunt for: documents, wishes, accounts, contacts, and who cares for the pets.

Free. No purchase, no obligation, and no coverage required.

What is inside

Ten short sections. Fill in what you know, skip what you do not, and come back later.

  1. Step 1

    Personal Snapshot

    The basics your family will be asked for again and again.

  2. Step 2

    Family & Trusted Circle

    Name the people who will handle decisions, then tell them you named them.

  3. Step 3

    Medical Information & Advance Directives

    Where the signed originals live matters as much as having them.

  4. Step 4

    Life Insurance Policies

    List every policy — individual, group or employer, credit, final expense, or mortgage. This is one of the most helpful pages for your family.

  5. Step 5

    Other Insurance & Benefits

    Health, auto, home, and workplace benefits your family may need to claim or cancel.

  6. Step 6

    Financial Trail Map

    Never record full account numbers here. Last four digits are plenty.

  7. Step 7

    Digital Footprints

    Keep this section secure. Prefer a password manager and record only where the master key lives — never the passwords themselves.

  8. Step 8

    Important Documents Checklist

    Check what you have, then note where the originals live.

  9. Step 9

    Funeral & Final Wishes

    Your preferences remove a heavy burden from the people who love you.

  10. Step 10

    Pets, Care Instructions & Extra Notes

    Who takes the dog, and anything else you want written down while you can.

Where should we send it?

A few details so we know who has a copy, then the PDF is yours.

Release authorization

All information submitted through the End of Trail Planner is kept private and secure. Policy Scout will only release this information upon the person's death or by written directive of the person who completed it.

A practical organizer, not legal, financial, or medical advice.
