Klarordner: the binder for when it matters
The publisher's first work is a binder for the day someone else has to take over. It records where documents are kept, who needs to be told and what you would want.
When someone is suddenly unable to act, others have to answer questions that often only that one person can answer: Which banks hold accounts? Where is the life insurance policy? Who has the spare key, and what is the phone passcode? The Klarordner gathers these answers in one place, so that in an emergency a trusted person only has to take one binder off the shelf.
What’s inside
The binder is a fillable PDF with 12 sections: At a glance, Personal details and documents, Important contacts, Health, Advance directives and where they are kept, Accounts and money, Insurance, Home, Vehicles and property, Contracts and subscriptions, Work, pension and taxes, Digital life, and Wishes and personal words. You fill it in on screen or print it and write by hand.
It comes with a guide that walks you through filling it in over four stages and explains legal planning, digital estate, safekeeping and the conversation with your family, plus an emergency card for your wallet that points to the binder.
Two editions
Planning ahead works differently in Germany and Switzerland. In Germany it is about the lasting power of attorney (Vorsorgevollmacht), the guardianship directive (Betreuungsverfügung), the living will (Patientenverfügung) and the will; in Switzerland about the advance care mandate (Vorsorgeauftrag), the living will and the will. That is why the Klarordner comes in an edition for Germany and an edition for Switzerland, both reflecting the law as of October 2026.
The Klarordner is written in German. It does not replace advice from a notary or lawyer. It explains what exists and refers to the official templates.
