Just in Case, Abroad: US Edition – An If-Something-Happens Organizer for Americans Living Overseas
If something happened to you while you were living abroad, would anyone back in the States know where to start? Your bank accounts, pensions, insurance and paperwork are probably split between two countries, and the people who would need to deal with them may live in neither.
Just in Case, Abroad is a fillable PDF organizer for US citizens living overseas. It gives you one place to record who to call, where your documents are kept, which accounts exist in each country, what insurance you have, and what you would want to happen.
It includes a first-week checklist for your family, based on the U.S. State Department's guidance on the death of a U.S. citizen abroad, plus pages for US tax-filing records, your nearest embassy or consulate, and US retirement accounts and benefits.
What you get:
- A 34-page fillable PDF in US Letter and A4 (type on screen in Adobe Reader, Apple Preview or a browser, or print it)
- A matching spreadsheet for Google Sheets or Excel
- A one-page First Week Checklist to share with family
Never write passwords in it; record where they're kept instead.
This is an organizer, not a will, and not legal, tax or financial advice. Personal use only; please don't resell or redistribute it. Published by Far & Near Press.
