The gap no folder can close
The person who knows how life works may suddenly be unable to explain it.
A Willdetermines what happens after you're gone. However, it does not tell your family which bills are urgent today.
A Password Vault holds login credentials. However, it does not guide your daughter to where your Power of Attorney or Health Directives are stored.
Legal Documents cover legal rights. However, they do not explain whom to call or how to manage daily life during a sudden emergency.
BeforeHand closes the loop. We organize your Wills, Power of Attorney, accounts, and emergency care instructions into one unified continuity plan, ensuring your family is never left guessing.
How it works
A calmer way to prepare for the hard days.
Choose who should know what
Give each trusted person the right role and access—without handing everyone a copy of everything.
Decide who will handle each responsibility
Name the trusted person who can act on your behalf, identify an executor, and give family members clear roles before help is needed.
Account closure, explained honestly
Some requests can be sent automatically. Some still need a person.
Every bank, telecom provider, subscription, insurer, and digital account has its own deceased-account or incapacity process. BeforeHand turns those differences into a clear execution plan.
BeforeHand sends the first notice
Where an institution accepts an emailed request and a reviewed template is available, BeforeHand can send the closure notice and name your chosen contact for follow-up. The task stays open until the institution confirms the result.
Your family gets the next step ready
For banks, insurers, and services requiring documents or approval, the assigned person receives the requirements, prepared notice, and checklist needed to submit the request.
The right person makes the call
When a provider requires a phone call, branch visit, court document, or identity review, BeforeHand shows who is responsible, what to bring, and what remains outstanding.
One plan, many real-life moments
Useful before an emergency—and indispensable during one.

Control stays with you
Share deliberately. Reveal only what is needed.
Role-based access
A spouse, adult child, executor, and advisor do not need the same information.
Responsibility assigned in advance
Account tasks can be assigned to the trusted person authorized to act, then reassigned as the family's situation changes.
Event-aware planning
Prepare for incapacity, an extended absence, or estate settlement without treating them as the same event.
Honest assistance
We help people prepare and coordinate; we do not pretend software replaces professional advice, legal authority, or an institution's required review.
