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.
1
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.
2
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.
3
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.”

Common questions
Things you might be wondering.
FamilyBooks is built with zero-knowledge encryption, which means only you — and the people you choose — can read your information. Your data is encrypted before it ever reaches our servers, and we cannot see or access it. All connections are protected with modern, bank-level security standards. And we never sell or share your information.
Your privacy isn’t a feature — it’s our foundation.
100%. Your spouse might see everything. Your kids see only what you choose. You set the rules, and you can change them anytime.
Both. FamilyBooks is designed for everything that matters to your family — legal documents, financial records, insurance policies, but also recipes, family stories, photos, traditions, and personal letters. If it’s important to your family, it belongs in FamilyBooks.
Export everything anytime. We want you to stay because it’s useful, not because we’re holding your data hostage.
Absolutely. FamilyBooks was built for real families — not tech experts. Clean screens. Clear directions. No confusing menus or tech jargon.
Because protecting your family’s information shouldn’t come with a learning curve — or turn you into tech support. And if they ever need help, we’re here.
Yes — wills, powers of attorney, insurance policies, anything. We don’t create legal documents, but we make sure the ones you have are organized and shared with the right people.
