Everplans Review: Does Your Estate Plan Include All of Your Assets?

What would happen if mom or dad suddenly passed away?

Or, being less dramatic, what if they were to fall ill and you became an overnight caregiver? 

Are their affairs in order?

Would your family know what to do with all of their belongings? These could include physical properties and belonging and digital assets, and non-tangibles.

When You Die, What Happens To Your Facebook Account?

Like most Americans, your loved ones likely have social media accounts, cryptocurrencies, blog posts, and songs purchased on iTunes, but no estate plan for this property.

Today our estate planning must include more than just wills, real estate, and life insurance policies; you should be asking yourself, what do you want with all of this?

Meet Everplans, a smart digital vault that will guide you through organizing important documents and even final wishes.

The pandemic has been enlightening for many Americans who realized anything could happen, and some were separated from their loved ones for different reasons.

Upgrade From That Safety Deposit Box

When our family became a caregiver for a senior, she had her precious items from her children, essential documents, and passport, among other things, in a black safety deposit box.

The box was cumbersome and large; she struggled to lug it around from place to place. She wasn’t originally from this country, so that presented other challenges.

We could all benefit from having an innovative digital vault that includes all her important information and records.

Conclusion:

Everplans is a subscription service that guides you and helps to organize your life; they have a free account that gives you around 50% of the vault and a premium service that costs $75/per year, which provides you with access to an extensive library of 2500 articles, checklists, and worksheets.

Everplans was co-founded by Abby Schneiderman and Abby Seifer. They are also the co-authors of the best-selling book In Case You Get Hit by a Bus: How to Organize Your Life Now for when You’re Not Around Later.

Our journey started in 2020; our family was tasked to care for an older woman. She had mobility, financial, insurance, and personal and health setbacks. Due to the pandemic, this lasted for a year. We had to help her get around, prepare meals, arrange and help with transportation, and much more! During the process, she became an adored member of our family, the experience open our eyes to the reality that while most prefer to age at home, this comes with many challenges, and if we end up needing a caregiver, this comes with a steep learning curve. So we started keeping a blog about simple discoveries after lots of research of products and services for older people; this is how Senior Affair Magazine was born.

This information and assets could be protected and handled accordingly if something were to happen. For a caregiver or family member tasked with caring for an older person, this could be a real lifesaver and relieve a lot of stress.
