Emergency binder
Family emergency binder template — one place for everything that matters
Documents, account numbers, contacts, instructions — printed into one binder your family can grab in a crisis. Free template + premium auto-fill.
When something goes wrong — hospitalisation, evacuation, sudden incapacity — your family needs ONE thing, fast: a binder with the right pages. Mylo's template gives you the structure (insurance, bank, key contacts, medical, vehicle, home, instructions). Print, fill in by hand, store in a fire-safe. Or upgrade and let Mylo auto-fill the binder from your vault and re-export when anything changes.
What you get
- Pre-structured into 8 sections: ID & insurance, financial, medical, home, vehicle, contacts, instructions, child / pet info
- One-page-per-section format — readable in crisis, not buried in chapters
- Free PDF template — print and fill in by hand
- Premium: auto-fill from your Mylo vault, re-export whenever you update anything
- Travel mode: condensed version you slip in your carry-on before a trip
- Editable in Word — you don't need a Mylo account to start
How it works
1. Download the blank template
Free PDF + DOCX. 8 sections, ~25 pages. Print or open in Word.
2. Fill in by hand or in Word
Take a weekend. Keep statements + IDs nearby; you'll need account numbers and policy IDs.
3. Store in a fire-safe
Plus tell one or two trusted people where it lives. A binder no one knows about is useless.
4. Upgrade if you want auto-updates
Mylo vault keeps the data; the binder export rebuilds itself when account numbers, insurance, or beneficiaries change.
Features
Travel mode
Condensed 4-page version with passports, allergies, emergency contacts, insurance — for grabbing before a trip.
Print-friendly layout
A4 / US Letter, 12pt minimum font, plenty of margin. Designed for crisis-reading, not pretty.
Auto-fill (premium)
Your Mylo vault populates the binder so you don't maintain two copies of the same data.
Version control
Each export carries the date so your family knows which is the current binder when there are multiple copies.
One subscription, every legacy tool
€9.99 / month. All four wings + AI Legal Consultant + 200+ article library. Cancel anytime; your data exports as DOCX / PDF / Excel and stays with you.

Where common alternatives fall short.
A binder you made yourself
The problem: Inconsistent structure. Missing sections you didn't think of.
With Mylo: Mylo's template is structured against what families typically need in crisis.
"Death book" from a will-prep service
The problem: Optimised for post-death paperwork. Often missing day-to-day emergency info (insurance card, allergies, home alarm code).
With Mylo: Mylo's binder covers both pre- and post-event needs.
Storing everything digitally only
The problem: Useful, but family may not have phone access in a crisis (lost, broken, locked).
With Mylo: Mylo encourages both — digital vault AND printed binder for redundancy.
Frequently asked
Is the free template really free?
Yes — the PDF + DOCX template is a free download from the Material Legacy section. The premium auto-fill (binder rebuilds from your vault) needs a subscription.
How often should I update it?
Annual review at minimum. Plus any life event — new insurance, new car, new account, new beneficiary, new medication. Mylo's subscriber reminder helps.
Where should I store the printed binder?
Fire-safe at home, plus a copy with a trusted family member or in a safety deposit box. Tell at least two people where it is.
Should I include account passwords in the binder?
Most experts say no — store passwords separately (password manager + emergency access), and use the binder for account NUMBERS and where to find the passwords. Mylo's template follows that pattern.
Can my partner use the same binder?
Yes — many couples build one shared binder. The template has a "two-person" mode where each section has columns for both names.
