Your plan, all in one place.
A guided checklist, secure vault, and everything your family needs — organized and accessible.
Start building your planHow people plan today —
and what it costs their families.
Most people rely on methods that are scattered, incomplete, or locked away. When the moment comes, a plan means your family already has what they need.
Planning method What most people rely on today | DIY / Google Docs Spreadsheets, shared folders, templates | Estate attorney Full legal engagement for wills & trusts | Passings Passings Planner Pro Guided wishlist, secure vault & family sharing |
|---|---|---|---|
| CostYour cost + what your family pays | Moderate ~$50–$250 to start — but no structure, no guidance, and no guarantee your files are findable or current. | High upfront $1,000–$2,500 to start, $500–$1,500 per update. Legal documents are covered — but no organization tool, and every change costs you. | Predictable $99 once, $39/yr after Year 1. Full guided plan, encrypted vault, and family sharing. No hourly fees. |
| Family accessCan they find it when they need it? | Only if family knows where to look. Google deactivates inactive accounts after 2 years. No guaranteed access when it matters most. | Documents held at the attorney’s office require re-engaging the firm. After a death, that can take days or weeks. | Designated family members receive instant access at the trigger you define — any device, no passwords, no delays. |
| Gaps & riskWhat gets left behind | High risk Files can be overwritten, forgotten, or lost. No update prompts, no encryption, no controlled access after you’re gone. | Partial coverage Legal documents are secure — but financial accounts, digital assets, and personal wishes fall outside attorney scope. | Minimal Bank-level encrypted vault. Role-based access controls. Annual review reminders. Everything documented and organized for clear access. |

From the founder
“I built this so I could be prepared. Now you can too.”
I started Passings to get organized — and to reduce the burden on my family if something happened to me. What I found is that this kind of preparation is powerful at any stage: whether you're planning ahead, supporting someone right now, or navigating loss directly. One organized place to go when you don't know where to start. I hope it gives you the same peace of mind it's given me — a blueprint for when I'm gone.
