Everything you need to know about formats, privacy, software compatibility, and usage.
General & Legal
No. The Family Ready File is an administrative and practical household organizer, not a legal will, trust, or power of attorney. It is designed to work alongside your legal documents by telling family members where those documents are physically located, which accounts need paying, how to contact your doctors, and how to manage day-to-day logistics.
Yes. Your single purchase includes a household license that covers your entire immediate family. You can print multiple copies or fill out separate sections for partners and children without paying again.
Privacy & Storage
Exclusively on your own computer or printed on paper in your home. Quartet Foundry never receives, stores, or sees any data you enter. You download clean files and fill them out offline.
We recommend recording account reference numbers and hints (or designating access to an encrypted password manager like 1Password or Bitwarden) rather than writing plain-text passwords in unencrypted files. If printing a physical copy, keep the binder in a locked home safe or fireproof box.
Editing & Printing
Yes. The fillable PDF version allows you to click into every field, type your information, and save it on Mac, Windows, Linux, iPad, or Chromebook using free software like Adobe Acrobat Reader, Apple Preview, or Chrome.
Yes! Both US Letter (8.5" x 11") and international A4 formats are included. The pages are designed with clean typography, generous 3-hole punch margins, and high-contrast lines so they look crisp on any home printer or at a local print shop.
Yes. The kit includes an A4 printable edition and generic household categories (utilities, insurance, inventory, medical contacts, bank accounts) that apply to households worldwide in Canada, the UK, Australia, Europe, and beyond.
