# Why we help families prepare

We help you put your accounts, papers and wishes in one place so your family knows where to start.

## What we help you do

Plan Before You Die helps you prepare while you can make your own choices. You choose whom to involve and what to share. Start with the [free readiness check](https://planbeforeyoudie.app/tomorrow-test) or read the [Family Readiness Standard](https://planbeforeyoudie.app/standard).

## Why we chose this name

Death shouldn't be a taboo. Talking about your wishes now gives your family a place to start. The candle represents leaving a light on for your family.
