You can read the book for free. But it makes so much more sense to fill it all out online — then print it for your binder or share it electronically with the people who need it.
If you're gone tomorrow
Your will, insurance, final wishes, assets and passwords-locations are written down, so your loved ones aren't left searching.
Your final wishes, your way
Funeral and burial plans, hospice preferences, and the legacy of stories and values you want to leave behind.

This holds medical details, assets and account locations. Here is exactly how it is protected.
Encrypted
Your entries are encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest in our managed cloud database.
Where it is stored
On secure, access-controlled cloud servers managed by Base44 — not on your personal computer or phone.

Why I created this
Hi, I'm John. Two experiences showed me how much a single, organized record matters to a family.
“I learned the best way to run a household after losing my wife to breast cancer, leaving me with our then 8-year-old. I needed this document to be organized, with the information I needed in one place.”
Years later, caring for my own parents showed the same need — not just for information, but for preserving a legacy.
“My 6 siblings and I are caring for our parents, 87 and 91. We need the information in one place, and a way to preserve their legacy of love, hard work and stories.”
That's why every section of Prepared You exists — so the people you love aren't left searching.
What people are saying
“I learned the best way to run a household after losing my wife to breast cancer, leaving me with our then 8-year-old. I needed this document to be organized, with the information I needed in one place.”
“My 6 siblings and I are caring for our parents, 87 and 91. We need the information in one place, and a way to preserve their legacy of love, hard work and stories.”
“What a fantastic idea! I have already shared this with my parents, who are in their 90s, as a way of organizing their valuable assets and even more valuable ideas and preferences for their family.”
“I kept telling myself I would get organized "someday." Prepared You broke it into small steps I could do in a weekend. My kids will thank me.”
“After my husband passed, I spent months hunting for his accounts and insurance papers. I do not want my daughters going through that. This gave me a system.”
