In Case Anything Happens. All guides

About Daniel Kuh

I'm a product designer, and I make In Case Anything Happens — a printed planner that organizes everything your family would need if something happened to you: accounts, passwords, documents, and wishes, in one guided book.

I built it after an uncomfortable realization about my own life: I'm the one who handles everything digital in my family, and if anything happened to me, the people I love would be locked out of nearly all of it — the phone, the accounts, the photos, the bills. Building the planner meant months of researching how account access, document storage, and after-death logistics actually work. These guides are where that research goes.

What I am — and what I'm not

I'm a maker who has spent a long time on one narrow problem: how a family gets access to what they need, when they need it. I am not a lawyer, financial advisor, or medical professional, and nothing I write is legal, financial, or medical advice. When a topic touches law or money, I cite official sources — Social Security, the IRS, the FTC, the National Institute on Aging, Apple's and Google's own documentation — and I tell you plainly when a question is one for a professional in your state.

How these guides are written

Every guide follows the same rules: facts come from primary sources that are linked so you can check them; anything I sell is disclosed in place, with honest alternatives listed next to it (including cheaper ones); and no scare tactics — this subject is heavy enough without them.

Found an error in any guide? I'd genuinely rather fix it than leave it up. The fastest way to reach me is through the main site.
