Their Plan — Ask your parents what they want, while it's easy to ask

Ask your parents what they want, while it’s easy to ask.

Tell your children what you want, while it’s easy to share.

Your parents answer questions in their own words about home, driving, money, and what they’d want if things changed. Your family gets a written plan everyone can see. Then you can stop wondering and get back to living comfortably. Nobody signs anything, and nobody decides anything today.

RUTH, 79 · FROM THE SAMPLE PLAN

Not a will. A plan for living.

A will speaks after someone is gone. This plan speaks while they’re here: the house, the driving, the money, the help they’d want, so they can live the way they want all the way to the end. It doesn’t replace a will, and it isn’t trying to. It’s the part of the plan you get to live in.

It happens at the kitchen table, not in a lawyer’s office.

Twenty minutes, mostly choosing the answer that sounds like them. It saves as they go, so it can be done a little at a time.

Christine Wilson, founder of Their Plan
I watched friend after friend scramble when a parent got sick. Then my mother-in-law, recently widowed, landed in the hospital, and somewhere in there I realized I had never asked my own parents the basic questions. So I made the questionnaire I couldn’t find: one my parents would actually finish, that got all of us on the same page while it was still just a conversation at the kitchen table.
–Christine Wilson
FOUNDER, THEIR PLAN

We don’t take referral fees. You get the whole picture.

The big referral sites are free because communities pay them thousands of dollars when your parent moves in, so you only see who’s paying. We show you what exists near them and what it tends to cost, from state licensing records and Medicare’s public data. Every licensed community shows up, and nobody can pay to be recommended. The $49 is the only money in it, and it comes from you. So we work for you.

Fair questions

Is this a will or a legal document?
Neither, and that’s why people finish it. A will covers what happens after someone dies; this covers how they live until then. It also tells you exactly which legal documents your state uses, so if a will or power of attorney is missing, the one attorney visit is short.
My parent will never do this.
Most people start alone and bring the family in later. The questions are written to be answered, not endured. The most common surprise in our testing was “shorter than I expected.”
What if it’s not my parent?
An aunt, an uncle, a lifelong friend, or yourself. Anyone whose plan you’d want to know. The questionnaire asks who’s filling it out and adjusts.
Do we pay again when things change?
No. The $49 is one payment for the life of the plan. Sign in with your email link, change any answer, and the plan stays current for everyone you share it with.
Where do the answers go?
They save on the device they’re typed on, and they’re shared only when your family chooses to share the plan. No community, advisor, or mailing list ever sees them.

Twenty minutes now, or an emergency decision later.
