Who it is for
Who is it for?
Three situations, and the parts of Gentle Handover that help in each.
Parents and young families
For a parent with children at home, including a parent raising them alone. Who takes them home tonight, letters for the years ahead, and where the papers are.
For a parent with children at home, including a parent raising them alone. Who takes them home tonight, letters for the years ahead, and where the papers are.
Who picks up the children, how the house runs, where the passwords and papers are. Write it down once, and add letters for their birthdays and the days that matter.
What parents worry about
"Will my kids know where to find important documents?"
Insurance policies, wills and account details are kept safe in one place, and are passed on to the people you chose after your death.
"I want to be there for their big moments"
Write letters for their birthdays and big days, and choose the date each one arrives.
"Who will share our family stories?"
Keep family recipes, traditions and stories in one place for the people you choose.
What helps a family
Tonight plan
If something happened to you suddenly, someone would take your children home tonight. Write down who comes, where things are, and what each child needs.
Letters for their big days
Write letters for your children's birthdays and big days, and pick the date each one arrives, even if you are not there.
Your accounts, written down
Leave a list of your important accounts and how to reach them, such as email, streaming and banking, so the people you love know where to start. Each bank and service has its own process after a death.
The little things
Write down routines, likes and dislikes, and the little things only you know.
Money matters
List the accounts, insurance policies and savings your children would need to know about.
Life stories
Write down your stories, advice and memories, add photos from those days, and choose who reads each one.
The free plan holds 1 letter. Life stories, recipes, the family tree, voice messages and more letters come with Plus, and video messages with Premium.
Aging parents and their children
For an older person who wants their affairs in order, and for the grown children who sit beside them at one screen to set it up.
For an older person who wants their affairs in order, and for the grown children who sit beside them at one screen to set it up.
Plain words, one thing at a time, and a family that is contacted only when it should be. You can set it up with someone beside you.
Easy to live with
Nothing to remember, nothing to rush, and a clear view of what would happen.
Sign in without typing a password
Sign in with a passkey, which uses your fingerprint, your face or a small security key.
A plan you can check
Plan check shows in plain words what would really happen, and what is still missing.
Someone looks in on you
If you live alone and miss a check-in, a person you trust is asked to call or visit first.
Looked after, not watched
Welfare check
Choose who should look in on you if you miss a check-in, and leave them a note, such as your address and where the spare key is. Their answer comes back to you, and it never starts anything about a death.
Scam shield
People who read death notices sometimes call a family and say money is owed. The people you choose will see the debts you really had, and a short list of common scams.
Tonight plan
If you look after grandchildren, write down what the next person needs to know tonight, such as who comes, where things are and what each child needs.
Care handover
If you care for your husband, your wife or a friend, write down what the next person would need to know for the long run.
You tell us you are fine with one click in your dashboard or in our email. Missing a check-in never releases anything on its own. Two of your trusted verifiers or a person on our team must first confirm the death, and then there is a wait.
Photo albums, life stories and recipes come with Plus.
Business owners
For an owner whose business would stall without them. One person you name reads the plan, read only, once your death has been confirmed.
For an owner whose business would stall without them. One person you name reads the plan, read only, once your death has been confirmed.
Write down who takes over your business and what they will need to know. Gentle Handover keeps the plan encrypted and hands it to the person you name once your death is confirmed. Succession planning is part of the Business plan.
What happens without a plan for who takes over?
Work can stop
Without the accounts, the passwords and the supplier contacts, the work can stop.
Your team is left waiting
Pay and benefits can be held up, and your staff do not know what comes next.
Value is lost
Without written notes, a buyer or successor has little to go on.
Who reads the plan
The person you name as your successor can read the succession plan, read only, once your death has been confirmed. Nobody else is given it.
Kept apart from your personal boxes
The plan lives in its own place. Your personal boxes still go only to the people you assigned them to.
One named successor
The plan, its documents and the list of business assets, read only.
Your lawyer's details
Your lawyer's name and contact details, as you wrote them, so your successor knows who to call.
