The complete Nokbox system—every folder, every checksheet, every direction—ready to drop into whatever container works for you.

Everything your family will need to handle your life when you can't — and a system that walks both of you through it. (We call them your NOK. Short for Next of Kin. You'll see it a lot.)

15 color-coded, labeled hanging folders to organize the categories of your Nokbox
67 color-coded, labeled folders: one for every item in your life
72 double-sided checksheets — one side for you, the other for your NOK (more on these in a sec)
1 zippered Document Protector bag — for the stuff that belongs in your safe: passports, birth certificates, the works
1 zippered Key Bag with 10 key tags — because "the junk drawer" isn't a key management system
Step-by-step instructions for setting it all up now, and for your NOK to follow later

Checksheets

Front: For You. What to put in the folder. What to jot down. What not to forget.
Back: For Your NOK. What they'll need to track down when the time comes, and how to keep tabs on it as they go.

One More Thing

The Nokbox isn't just for after you're gone. Most of our customers tell us the real magic is what happens during setup ... finally finding that policy, finally writing down the Wi-Fi password, finally getting all of it out of your head and into one place. The peace of mind starts the day the box arrives.

What type of container should I put the Base Kit in?
Just drop the materials right into a file cabinet, a file safe, or any other container that suits your needs. This the same kit that comes with the Original or Fireproof, just without a container. All you have to do is open up the directions and start filling up your kit.

Do I need this if I already have a will?
Short answer: yes — they do different jobs. Your will decides who inherits what after you're gone. The Nokbox handles everything that has to happen before any of that can even start: where the accounts are, who the insurance is with, which keys open what, what the Wi-Fi password is, who to call first. A will tells your family what to do with your stuff. The Nokbox tells them how to actually find it.

How long does it take to fill out?
However long you want it to. Some people knock it out in a single weekend; others chip away one folder at a time over a few months. There's no right pace, and you don't have to know everything before you start. The checksheets walk you through exactly what to gather and where to put it. Most importantly: you can stop, take a break, and come back to it whenever life gets in the way. (It usually does.)

Is it safe to write down passwords / where should I keep it?
Fair question — and yes, it's safe, as long as your Nokbox lives somewhere only trusted people can get to. The zippered Document Protector bag tucked inside your Nokbox is built specifically for the items that need extra security, like passports and birth certificates. Keep that in a secure location such as a home sage. And none of your information is stored online by us. Your Nokbox stays exactly where you put it, and only the people you tell about it know where that is.

Which kit should I buy?
The million dollar question! All of our kits contain the same information and work for every household. If you don't have much yet, the Original is a great start. If you have too much paper, we help you eliminate it down to ONE document per category. If you already have folders or a system, select the Nokbox Lite. If you already have a storage box or want your own container, get the Base Kit. The Nokbox Original and Nokbox Fireproof are the Base Kit plus a container.

I'm young and healthy — is this only for older people?
You don't have to be old (or on your death bed) to put together a Nokbox. In fact, the earlier, the better. If you're just starting out, you may not have a ton to file away yet, but life adds up fast. Having a Nokbox gives you one place to keep and manage all of it, so when it's time to apply for a mortgage, file an insurance claim, or sell your car, the info is right there waiting for you.

It also makes a fantastic wedding or housewarming gift. No matter your age or stage of life, a Nokbox is a great idea.

I'm single / I don't have kids. Is this still for me?
Yes, a Nokbox is incredibly valuable for single adults without kids. It ensures that your wishes are carried out exactly as you want, and provides a designated place to organize your daily life, emergency medical information, and your estate

I'm married, do I need two Nokboxes?
It really depends on how intermingled your accounts are. We usually suggest starting with one box and seeing what you need from there. Some couples end up buying a second, while others just add a Lite kit for the extra sections.

I don't have a lot of assets. Is The Nokbox overkill?
Not at all — The Nokbox isn't about assets. It's about information. Even the simplest life comes with bank logins, insurance policies, utility accounts, medical records, and a phone full of apps. If something happened tomorrow, someone would still have to track all of it down.

If anything, fewer assets is a great reason to start now: your Nokbox will be quicker to fill out and ready to grow with you as life piles on the rest.
