The Family Gap Check

Find out what your family knows about your plans

Invite your family to answer a few questions, each on their own. You'll see what they know next to what you think you've told them.

What a result looks like

A sample for a made-up family. You see every answer, and you decide what to share.

Each gap shows you who to talk to and what to tell them.

Why it helps

Families think they've talked more than they have

In a 2016 Fidelity study, 70% of parents said they had discussed their estate plans in detail. More than half of their adult children disagreed.

  1. Invite your family

    Add their email addresses. Each person gets their own link.

  2. They answer on their own

    Nobody sees anyone else's answers.

  3. See what they know

    Tell each person what they're missing, or put it all in one plan.

Questions

What will my family be asked?

Who to call and where things are kept. We never ask for account numbers, balances or passwords.

Who sees the answers?

You do. Each person sees only their own answers.

What if they know less than I thought?

Then you know what to tell them. We help you put it all in one place, with a short guide for each person you choose.

Can I use it for my mom or dad?

Yes. Pick your mom or dad when you start, and invite your brothers and sisters.
