SuddenGone

Free, two minutes

If something happened tomorrow, would your family know where to start?

Twelve questions. Answer honestly and you get a score out of 100 and the three steps that would save your family the most time. Your answers stay in your browser.

  1. 1.Could someone you trust get into your phone and your main email?

    They would need the passcode and the email password, written down somewhere they can reach.

  2. 2.If it happened tonight, could they open what you left without your phone, your email or your codes?

    A sudden death leaves all three locked. Whatever you have set up has to open with things that are already theirs.

  3. 3.Is there a written list of your accounts and insurance policies?

    Banks, retirement accounts, life insurance. Names of the companies are enough to count as a yes.

  4. 4.Do you have a signed will?

    However you made it: on your own, with an AI tool, a form or a kit. It counts once it is signed and witnessed the way the rule where you live requires. A draft does not.

  5. 5.Have you named a beneficiary on your main bank and retirement accounts?

    Banks call it payable on death. It is a short form.

  6. 6.Are the sign-ins for your other accounts written down where they could be found?

    A password manager someone else can open, a sealed list, or a notebook in a known place.

  7. 7.Does anyone else know where every valuable thing is: cash, gold, crypto, a storage unit, a car kept elsewhere?

    If nothing like that applies to you, answer yes.

  8. 8.Does someone you trust know exactly where the signed original is?

    If you have no will yet, answer No.

  9. 9.Do you have a power of attorney and a health care directive?

    The papers that let someone pay your bills and speak to doctors if you cannot.

  10. 10.Would your family know your Social Security number and which bills are on autopay?

    The number every form asks for, and the charges that keep coming out of an account nobody is watching.

  11. 11.Would someone notice within a few days if you went quiet?

    A partner at home, a daily call, a neighbor who would knock.

  12. 12.Have you turned on the legacy setting for your main email and phone account?

    Google's Inactive Account Manager, or a Legacy Contact on an Apple account.
