Swan Song — Getting Your Affairs in Order

Swan Song: Getting Your Affairs in Order

One place for the information your family shouldn't have to search for.

When a parent or grandparent passes, the family is often left looking for answers. Which bank? Where's the land title? Was there a pre-need plan? Who needs to be called? What did they want for the funeral? Where are the passwords?

Swan Song is an end-of-life planner that puts the important things in one place — your documents, accounts, contacts, property, wishes, and the things you want your family to know.

And it's made for life in the Philippines.

That means space for the things a generic planner may overlook: Philippine government IDs, e-wallets, pre-need plans, vehicle OR/CR details, parish and funeral information, and other records your family may eventually need to find.

This isn't a legal document and it doesn't replace a will or professional legal or financial advice. It's an organizer — a practical record of what you have, where things are, who to contact, and what you want your family to know.

What's inside

• Important documents — IDs, certificates, passports, policies, titles, and where they're kept
• People to contact — family, doctors, lawyer, accountant, employer, parish, and other important contacts
• Financial information — banks, investments, insurance, pensions, loans, debts, and e-wallets
• Property and assets — real estate, vehicles, valuables, heirlooms, and where the relevant records can be found
• Digital life — email, social media, subscriptions, online accounts, devices, and instructions for accessing what matters
• Legal and medical information — details about existing wills, powers of attorney, medical wishes, and where signed documents are kept
• Funeral and memorial wishes — preferences for the wake, burial or cremation, parish, music, readings, and other details you'd like your family to know
• Personal belongings and pets — practical instructions for the things and animals that may need looking after
• Letters and personal notes — space for words you want to leave behind

You don't have to complete everything at once. Fill in what you know now and come back to the rest as things change.

Who it's for

Swan Song is for anyone who doesn't want their family left searching for answers.

It's especially useful for:

• Adults who want to get their important information organized
• Parents who want their family to know where everything is
• OFWs who have accounts, documents, or responsibilities in more than one place
• Anyone who has already experienced the scramble of sorting through a loved one's affairs
• Adult children who want to help their parents put important information in one place

You can fill it in for yourself or work through it with a parent or loved one.

Getting your affairs in order is a practical kindness.

When the time comes, the people you love will already know where to look, who to call, and what you wanted.

Just make sure at least one person you trust knows where you keep the book.
