After a loss
A practical checklist for the days after someone dies.
Start with urgent decisions, then move through documents, care providers, accounts, memorials, and estate tasks in an order that does not ask the family to solve everything at once.
11 guided tasks
4 sections, one clear path
Each task includes timing, owner, next action, and a path into the right rip.com tool or guide.
How it works
Urgent first, everything else in order.
The checklist is organized by timing so families can move without confusing every task for an emergency.
First 24 hours
Confirm what happened, identify the point person, and make the first calls.
Documents and authority
Find the records needed for arrangements, benefits, banks, and possible probate.
Care, service, and memorial
Make the public-facing decisions gently and keep details in one place.
Estate, accounts, and ongoing tasks
Protect property, notify institutions, and avoid rushed financial decisions.
