Ask HN: How do I create a detailed plan to pass information to my family

by ravanpaoon 3/22/2020, 7:04 PMwith 3 comments

Have you ever planned on documenting everything you want to share with your family after your death? COVID-19 makes me wonder that it is high time I create such a plan. Things I want to share:

- Bank account details and balances

- Insurance policy details

- any liabilities

- "How to" instructions

- my various accounts such as google, amazon, etc

- share details of how I have saved a backup of important documents.

My wife does not work and is not techsavvy. My 2 daughters are 6 and 3 year old. I want to make things easy for them as far as possible. Do you have any ideas to help me write up?

Thank you!!

I remembered your question from yesterday when I saw this on HN today: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22664675

Still in pretty much alpha form, but might be worth keeping an eye on it for your needs.

I have, I used Cake and thought the process was very navigable (but am glad it hasn't been put into use yet). https://www.joincake.com/
