The paperwork for life's big turns, all in one calm place.
You are probably the one who keeps track of everything. These kits keep track of the forms, the phone calls and the deadlines, so you can do the next right thing and let the rest wait.
Where are you right now?
Pick the one that sounds like your week. You can always come back for another.

How it works: Type directly into the PDF or print it. Clickable contents, colored tabs and bookmarks help you jump to what you need. Task lists have WHO and DATE DONE boxes so family members can share the work.
These are practical templates, not legal, tax or financial advice. Laws, fees and benefit amounts change, so confirm details with the agency or a Texas attorney.
Caring for an aging parent means a lot of paperwork, and most families start it in the middle of a crisis. This 86-page fillable PDF has 37 templates and worksheets, so you can get organized before one. It covers the following:
Durable and medical power of attorney worksheets, HIPAA authorization, directive to physicians, out-of-hospital DNR readiness and disposition of remains.
A financial inventory, a medication list, an emergency sheet with a wallet card, and a login and password list.
Checklists for scam protection, home safety and driving, moving to assisted living, Medicare open enrollment, Medicaid applications, hospice, and what to do after a death.
It opens with a plain-language note to the parent, and it points to current Texas statutes and help lines. It is a set of drafting templates for review by a Texas attorney, not legal advice.
Your child turns 18 and the hospital stops talking to you. The bursar won't discuss the bill you're paying. The registrar won't confirm whether your student has been in class. This kit is the paperwork that fixes that, before you need it.
Eight fillable templates plus a plain-language note to hand your student before the signing conversation:
Durable power of attorney for money, tuition, insurance and paperwork
Medical power of attorney naming a health care agent
HIPAA authorization so doctors can actually talk to you
FERPA consent for grades, billing and financial aid
Directive to physicians
Medical consent form for students who start college at 17
Digital account access authorization
Emergency information sheet and wallet card
Type directly into the PDF, save it, and print for signing. Color-coded tabs and bookmarks jump to each form. Drafted for Texas families with notes on what changes when your student attends school out of state.
These are drafting templates for review with your own attorney, not legal advice.
“You have made your own decisions for a long time, and these documents are about keeping it that way.”
From the note to the parent
Both the aging parent kit and the college kit open with a short note to the person who will sign, written to them and not about them. Hand it over a few days before you sit down together. People sign more willingly when they understand the papers and choose the terms.
Questions people ask
-
No. These are draft templates and worksheets prepared for attorney review. Nothing here creates an attorney-client relationship, and the laws and fees they mention change. For a will, real estate, a business, a family disagreement or a child involved, talk with a Texas attorney.
-
They are written for Texas families, with notes on what changes out of state. If the person who died or the parent lives somewhere else, treat the legal references as examples and have a lawyer there review them.
-
A computer or tablet is easier. Adobe Acrobat Reader, Preview on a Mac and most browsers open fillable PDFs. If a box will not take text, try Acrobat Reader. Printing works too.
-
We can help with how to use the kit and where to find things in it. We cannot give advice about your particular legal situation. A Texas attorney can.
-
Yes. Add as many as you like to your cart. The kits overlap in places, for example the Aging Parent kit includes an after-a-death checklist, so choose the one that fits where you are right now.
-
The After-a-Death Navigation Kit was prepared on October 2, 2026. The statute references and phone numbers in the Aging Parent kit were checked in October 2026. Phone numbers marked with a dagger came from public sources and were not re-verified, so confirm them on the agency's own website. Fees, benefit amounts and limits change every year.
-
The kits are PDFs that you fill in on your own device, so what you type stays in your own file. Keep it somewhere private and do not email it unprotected. The store collects only what it needs to complete your order.
-
Because the kits are downloadable files, all sales are final once the download link has been sent. If your file will not open or is damaged, contact us and we will fix it or refund you.

Instantly. As soon as your payment goes through, you get a download link for your fillable PDF. Save the file to your computer, then fill it in on screen or print the pages you need.
Type it, print it, sign it.
1. Fill it in on your screen. Every shaded box is a form field. Press Tab to move along. Colored tabs and a clickable contents page take you straight to the page you need today.
2. Print what you need. Print only the pages you are using. Never type a full Social Security, account or card number into a kit. The last four digits are enough.
3. Sign on paper. Signing is done in ink, with a notary and witnesses where Texas requires them. Bring the kit to your lawyer so the meeting starts with the answers already worked out.
One thing to know. Some Texas documents, such as the medical power of attorney and the directive to physicians, must follow the form the State publishes. The kits help you decide your choices, then you copy them onto the official form.
Prologue Pages kits are general informational templates for Texas families. They are drafts for attorney review and are not legal, tax or financial advice. Reading or using them does not create an attorney-client relationship. Laws, fees and benefit amounts change, and every family's situation is different. Talk with a Texas attorney before relying on any template.
