The two directions every family faces
You're in the middle. That's the hardest place to be.
The average family spends 570+ hours sorting through a loved one's affairs after they pass.
Looking up at your parents
They're getting older. You love them. But do you actually know where their important stuff is?
- Where's their will? Is there one?
- Who's their doctor? Their lawyer?
- What insurance do they have?
- What are their passwords and accounts?
- What do they actually want when the time comes?
- What stories and memories will be lost if no one writes them down?
Looking down at your kids
If something happened to you tomorrow, would your family know where to find what they need?
- Your life insurance policy details
- Bank accounts and financial info
- Property deeds and titles
- Digital accounts and subscriptions
- The things you want them to know — and remember
- Your family's recipes, traditions, and the stories behind them
Why this exists
“When we lost my grandfather, we lost more than we expected. Nobody knew where his documents were — but worse, nobody had written down his stories. I promised myself my kids would never lose either.
Then I looked around and realized — I was doing the exact same thing to them. My will was in a drawer somewhere. My passwords were in my head. My grandmother's pie recipe? The story of how my parents met? Those were in no one's head but mine. FamilyBooks started as a spreadsheet for my own family. It became something bigger when every friend I told said the same thing: “I need that.”
How it works
Three steps. Fifteen minutes. Done.
Start small
Create your account and choose 3 to 4 important things to capture — an insurance policy, your will, key contacts, or family stories and final wishes. No pressure to do it all at once. Just start.
Choose who sees what
Your spouse sees everything. Your kids see only what you choose. Your parents share what they're ready to. Permissions update in real time.
Sleep better tonight
Everything — from legal documents to family memories — organized, encrypted, and accessible to the right people at the right time. No more “I should really do that someday.”
See what's inside
A peek inside your family vault.
Documents, memories, and everything in between — organized, searchable, and secure.

Don't take our word for it.
“My husband passed unexpectedly last year. Because he’d set this up, I knew exactly where everything was. I can’t imagine what it would’ve been like without it.”
“I started using FamilyBooks to organize our insurance and wills. But then I added my mom’s cornbread recipe, the story of my grandparents’ immigration, and a letter to my daughter. It went from a practical tool to something I actually treasure.”
“My mom was resistant at first — ‘I don’t need that.’ But once she saw how simple it was, she actually thanked me. That never happens.”
“I kept putting this off because I assumed it would take forever. Fifteen minutes later, I had our wills, insurance, and passwords all in one place. My wife said it was the most productive thing I’d done in months.”
“I finally had the conversation with my parents I’d been avoiding for years. FamilyBooks made it feel like a practical task, not an emotional one.”
“My dad passed last year. Thanks to FamilyBooks, we had his documents — but we also had his stories. The fishing trip he took with his brother in 1968. His mother’s biscuit recipe. Things we would have lost forever.”
