Peace of mind stories

• When we had our second child we knew we had to update our will, but we had such a terrible time with our lawyer so we’ve been putting it off. I LOVE that we can update this whenever we want to accommodate our expanding family. There are some things I didn’t consider before like a financial guardian but the app went through it with lots of tips to help me understand. Would recommend this to anyone.
• My husband and I have been talking about this for awhile now but weren’t sure where to start. Our friend told us about Posterity and we’re super glad we tried it. We don’t have too much going on compared to all the options they provided, mostly our pets and asset, but it’s reassuring to know that we can update it whenever we want. We had to pause a bit just to think about some of the things like a legal representative but it was really easy to hop back into the app and finish.
• I wasn’t really sure what to think giving this a shot. Mostly came here because of my dogs. My parents aren’t really into pets and I didn’t want my parents to get them over my friend. While in the app, ended up leaving behind some gifts in a similar situation that my parents would otherwise think is junk. I was really shocked at how easy it is to make a will with them.

Commonly Asked Questions

What is Posterity?

Posterity is a platform that helps make a plan in the event something happens to you, and share it with your friends and family.

How can my plan become legally binding?

Posterity will automatically generate all the documents required to make your plan legally binding in your state. This includes typical estate planning documents, such as your legal will, notary self-proving affidavit, etc.

Print them, then scan the QR code included in each document to access step-by-step instructions on how to proceed.

Scan the QR code on the cover sheet of a document to obtain further instructions.

This process is repeated every time you make a change to your plan; Posterity will make sure you only update the documents that need to be replaced.

How does sharing work?

We’ve designed Posterity to make it easy for you to share information with the people you care about, all while giving you complete control over what information is revealed to whom, and when.

For example, you can share your plan with the person you chose to be your legal representative. In that case, they’d receive an invitation to create their own account, and be allowed to see everything you gave them permission to see.

You can also schedule something to only be revealed to its recipient if you pass away. For example, you may prefer to keep a gift private from its recipient for the time being. In this scenario, that information will remain secret until one of your family members submits a valid death certificate to Posterity.

How would my family access my plan if something happens to me?

Your loved ones would be able to access your plan from their own accounts, which are created when you first share an arrangement with them. Naturally, your privacy settings would remain in effect, with each person only allowed to access what you explicitly chose to share with them.

Your account and all the information it contains would be preserved and remain accessible for 24 months.

Will Posterity be around in 30 years?

At Posterity, we hope for the best but plan for the worst. This is in many ways why we decided to charge a small yearly subscription as opposed to a large one-time fee; so that you’re only committing one year at a time.

Should we go out of business, your subscription will stop and your legal documents will remain valid.

How much does Posterity cost?

Posterity is available for $29.99 per year, billed annually.

Can I try Posterity before I subscribe?

Yes, we offer a free 15 day trial period.

You can start your free trial now.

Can I cancel my subscription?

Absolutely. You can cancel your subscription at anytime, directly fromyour account, and with no cancellation fees.

Do I need an attorney?

No, Posterity will provide you with everything you need to create your own plan without an estate planning attorney.

There are however situations and custom arrangements for which the expertise of an attorney can be helpful. Posterity will automatically direct you to consult with one in those instances.

Are you a law firm?

No, we are not a law firm, and we cannot provide you with legal advice. We’re a technology company that helps you create a plan on your own using legal information, software, and services that use the data you enter as input.

Consequently, no attorney-client relationship is formed between us. The information you provide us with is protected by our privacy policy, but it’s not covered by attorney-client privilege.
