Planning ahead
Leave your family a map, not a maze
When someone dies, the hardest part is often finding everything — the accounts, the passwords, the policies, the documents — with no guide, while grieving. Simply Once keeps it all in one secure place, with trusted access for the person you choose, so your family can find what they need when the time comes.
No spam, ever — we'll email you as we open access.
What settling an estate actually looks like
Anyone who's done it knows: when someone dies, the person handling their affairs has to find everything — usually with no map, and while grieving.
- The phone no one can unlock — and the email, photos, and accounts behind it.
- A bank or investment account discovered months later, by accident.
- Subscriptions still charging a card long after the person is gone.
- A life insurance policy the family never knew existed — or, worse, never finds.
- The will, if there is one, in a drawer no one thought to check.
None of it is anyone's fault. It's just what happens when a lifetime of accounts and documents lives in a dozen places, and the one person who knew where everything was is no longer here to ask.
Getting your own affairs in order? Here's a practical guide to organizing your family's important information.
A map for the people you'd leave behind
Everything in one place, so nothing's lost. Your accounts, documents, insurance, and the will — all in one organized vault, so the person settling your affairs isn’t discovering things by accident months later, or missing them entirely.
The right person can actually get in. Set up trusted access for the person you choose, so they can reach what they need when the time comes — without you handing over passwords today, and without leaving everything locked forever. You decide who, and you decide when.
A clear map, not a scavenger hunt. Instead of a shoebox of papers and a password on a sticky note, your family gets one organized place with everything they need to act — accounts to close, policies to claim, people to notify.
The hard documents, kept safe. The will, the power of attorney, the healthcare directives — stored securely and findable, so the legal pieces are where they need to be when they’re needed.

Safe by design
This is your most sensitive information — and the keys to your family's future. Everything in Simply Once is encrypted on your own device before it's stored, with zero-knowledge encryption, so not even we can read it. And you stay in control of who can reach it and when: trusted access opens only when it's meant to, not before.
