The Indian edition reflects how households actually hold assets here: Aadhaar- and PAN-linked accounts, EPF and PPF nominations, UPI handles and BHIM details, demat accounts with depository nominations and mutual fund SIPs. It accommodates probate or a Succession Certificate via District Courts and references the DPDP Act 2023's emerging privacy framework. The spreadsheet uses Indian rupees and includes sections for LIC policies, post office savings, gold and locker arrangements, and the personal-law variation between Hindu, Muslim and Christian succession that an Indian executor must navigate.

Frequently asked.
What is a digital estate checklist?
A structured list of the online accounts, devices, subscriptions and digital assets a person owns, with instructions for how each should be accessed, transferred or closed if they become incapacitated or pass away.
Is the checklist really free?
Yes. The PDF and spreadsheet are free with an email address. No payment, no card, no auto-billing.
What format does the download come in?
Two files: a printable PDF guide and an editable spreadsheet (XLSX, also opens in Google Sheets and Numbers) you can fill in section by section.
Is this specific to India?
The Indian edition references the Income Tax Department, probate or succession certificate and locally-relevant banking terms. The structure is universal, and editions are also available for the other major English-speaking markets. Switch with the region selector.
Should I write my passwords on the checklist?
No. The checklist captures access instructions and locations, not live credentials. For credentials themselves, use a password manager or a structured tool like Fideby.
How long does it take to fill in?
Most people complete the core sections in 45 to 60 minutes. The detailed sections (subscriptions, cloud storage) can take longer and are usually done across two or three sittings.
