How it works
Three minutes to start. No documents. No need to have the answers.
You don’t need to have everything figured out. You don’t need the documents in front of you. You answer what you can, and “I don’t know” is a fine answer. It just becomes the next question.
Say where you’re starting from.
A health scare, things you’ve started managing for someone else, or just getting ahead of it. Kin asks the questions that fit your situation, not a generic checklist.
Where are you starting from?
Answer what you can.
Small, concrete questions: where the accounts live, who’s named in the will, which account pays the mortgage. For your parent or your own family, every answer lands as recorded, known, or unknown. Nothing is required.
The picture so far
Put names on the roles.
Executor, bill-payer, guardian for the kids, healthcare proxy. Kin keeps the names visible so nobody’s left wondering who’s handling what, and flags the people who’ve been named but never told.
Who’s handling what
Check the paperwork against real life.
If a will or trust already exists, uploading it and having Kin read it against what your family recorded is what we’re building next. What disagrees gets flagged: an executor who changed their mind, a house never moved into the trust, a document signed before the retirement. Kin proposes; you and your attorney decide.
The document checkIn build
Make sure everyone knows.
Your lawyer-ready brief and “when the time comes” packet are ready to print, share, and keep. Anything the documents need becomes one attorney agenda, so a single meeting catches the paperwork up with life.
What you leave with
Recorded
Written down in Kin, with the details your family would need. Done.
Known, not written down
Someone knows it. It just lives in their head. One conversation away from recorded.
Unknown
Not a failure. Just the next question to ask, and Kin tells you who to ask it to.
Start with a few questions.
