When someone passes, "figuring out what they owned" becomes someone else's job.
Leave your family clarity, not confusion.
Squared Away helps you document what you own, where it is, and what it's worth — so settling your estate doesn't mean searching through boxes during grief.
A gift to the people you leave behind
What happens without documentation
When someone dies, their family is grieving. They're planning a funeral, managing logistics, and processing loss. The last thing they need is a treasure hunt.
But without documentation, that's what estate settlement becomes.
- Executors must identify all assets before distribution
- Items in storage units, safe deposit boxes, or with family members get forgotten
- "Mom said I could have that" becomes an argument without proof
- Probate extends when assets can't be verified
- Valuable items get donated or discarded because no one knew their worth
“We found a storage unit key in Dad's desk. He'd been paying for it for 8 years. We had no idea what was inside or why he kept it.”

For Different Situations
If you're planning your own estate
Document what you own while you can. Add notes about what's valuable, what's sentimental, and who might want what. Your family will thank you. Start with: High-value items and their documentation, items with sentimental significance, anything in storage or with other family members, collections that require specialized knowledge.
If you're helping aging parents
Have the conversation now. Offer to help them document — it's a practical project that opens the door to bigger discussions about wishes and plans. Approach it as: "Let's make sure we know where everything is", "This will make things so much easier someday", "I'd love to learn about some of these things while you can tell me".
If you're settling an estate
Even after someone passes, documentation helps. Use Squared Away to catalog what you find, track what goes where, and maintain records for probate.
What customers say
“When my father passed, we knew exactly what he owned and where it was. He'd documented everything in Squared Away — including notes about which items had family history. It made settling his estate so much easier, and we didn't lose any of the stories behind his things.”— Michael T., estate executor
The Gift of Clarity
Your belongings tell the story of your life. Documentation ensures those stories don't get lost — and that your family isn't left guessing.
It's not morbid. It's loving.
The most organized people aren't pessimists. They're realists who care about the people they'll leave behind.
