Prepare
A few questions about your life and what matters to you, so the plan fits your situation instead of a template.
Make sure they know what to do.
Will the people you care about, and depend upon, know what to do when the time comes?
Intentward is a guided end-of-life planner. It asks a few questions, then helps you build a clear plan for the people who'll need it — at your pace, in your words.

Your Plan Has Three Layers
From the urgent to the complex, each layer reaches the right person at the right time — starting with your steward, the person who'd step in first.

It started with a phone call from the county sheriff's department. — Dan Schuck, founder
"Sir, this is Officer Richards of the county sheriff's department."
"Why are you calling me from Jill's number?"
It was the worst day of my life, and the day that changed everything. She was gone, and I was grief-struck — but also the steward who needed to act.
First, finding her healthcare directives and getting them to the hospital. Then her emergency contacts — locked inside her phone. In the days that followed, friends and family. Then acquaintances, co-workers, distant relatives. The funeral. Then the will and trust, where I was also named her executor. Bank accounts. The auto lease. Her online accounts. What to do about Facebook.
All in a few painful months.
As I've shared this story over the years, I've heard it back from so many friends and family — they've been the steward too, for someone they loved, and learned how complicated it can be.
And even the ones who haven't been a steward themself often say that they catch themselves wondering how their own people would manage:
"Who would know where I keep my healthcare directive?"
"Who would they need to call?"
"How would they get into my phone?"
"Does anyone besides me know about the cat's medication?"
"Should someone know how to reach my attorney?"
It's daunting to face a thousand questions like these. But they don't all need answers today — and even a basic plan gives you, the planner, real peace of mind. And what it gives the people you love is your love.

Our promises to you.
Your plan, your priorities.
You don't have to do all of it. What matters to you probably isn't what matters to someone else. Even a little planning goes a long way for the person who has to step in.
We're a planner, not a vault.
We store your plan — never the credentials inside it. No master passwords, no SSNs, no documents. The sensitive things stay where they belong: with you.
We'll never rush you.
No countdown timers. No "complete this now" pressure. Build your plan in pieces of your choosing — five minutes today, an hour next month. We'll be here.
We'll suggest. You decide.
We’ll offer ideas for next steps, never an instruction. Take it, skip it, or go somewhere else entirely — nothing goes into your plan unless you put it there.
When you're ready.
You don't need answers to everything to start. The first pass through a topic is short, and you can stop wherever you like.
Thank you! We'll be in touch.
