End of Life Planning That’s More Than a Will

Let’s Plan to Die

Do you want to be remembered for your thoughtful planning or the chaos you left behind?

End of life planning isn’t just paperwork and legal jargon — it’s about organizing your life’s details so your loved ones aren’t left sorting through a mess.

 

Life:Organized™ is an estate organizing service that helps you create a clear, thoughtful plan. From legal documents and accounts to cherished memories, pet care, and everything in between, I’ll help you gather and document everything that matters in one personalized end of life workbook.

This all-in-one roadmap can support your work with legal and financial professionals now, and serve as a trusted resource for your family later, whether you’re facing an emergency or simply no longer here to guide them. When the time comes, your family will have what they need. No guesswork. No extra heartache.

I’m Mary Davis, and I know firsthand how overwhelming it is to handle a loved one’s estate. Years ago, I lost three loved ones in just three months and found myself buried under paperwork, bills, and an avalanche of “what now?” questions no one could easily answer.

That experience changed everything. I knew I didn’t want my family — or anyone else’s to face that kind of chaos. I realized the importance of end of life planning and how much we don’t realize we need to plan for.

Today, I help people organize the details that a will alone doesn’t cover. Together, we’ll build a clear end-of-life checklist, create a personalized workbook, and make sure your wishes and essential information are easy for your loved ones to find when they need them most.

 

My goal? To make this big, often emotional task feel manageable — and maybe even a little empowering. Planning ahead gives you peace of mind, ensures your wishes are known, and leaves behind a legacy your loved ones will truly appreciate.
