Kin

For whoever starts

Your mother’s executor is you’re not sure.
The mortgage is paid from which account?
The will is kept top desk drawer ✓.

When someone can’t manage things anymore, the family shouldn’t have to start from scratch. Kin turns the accounts, bills, documents, wishes, and responsibilities in one person’s head into a plan everyone can understand.

Stepping in for a parent, or making sure your own family would never have to guess: the picture is the same.

Free to start · About three minutes · Skip anything that doesn’t apply

It starts with three small questions. No documents needed, and you can skip anything.

Where are you starting from?

However you got here, you don’t need everything at once. You need to know where things stand.

Why it feels impossible

One day, someone will need to know all of this.

Where’s the mortgage?Who handles Mom’s taxes?What’s the insurance policy?Who has the power of attorney?What’s the password to the account that pays the bills?

And right now, that person might be you.

The whole plan lives in one person’s head. Every other tool hands you a blank binder and says “fill it in.” Kin asks small, concrete questions instead, and “I don’t know” is a fine answer.

Who are you doing this for?

Families come to Kin two ways. Both end the same place: everyone knows what to do.

For your parents · caring for someone

Mom knows where everything is. Nobody else does.

Start alone with what you already know, and bring her in when there’s something to look at.

Start with their picture

For your family · your own plan

You know where everything is. They don’t.

If you were unreachable for a month, what would your family need to know by Friday?

Set your own down

Not a parent? Same doors: a partner, a sibling, chosen family. Kin works for whoever would step in. Family is whoever you’d call.

Everything your family needs to know.

Where does Mom bank. Who’s named in the will. Who would speak for Dad. Every answer lands as one of three things: recorded, known, or unknown . The unknowns become a short list of questions to ask, one at a time.

Start alone. Most people do. No family summit required.

Everyone knows their part.

Executor, bill-payer, the one who speaks for Mom. Kin puts names on the roles and keeps them visible, so siblings stop wondering who’s handling what. And when someone’s been named but never told, that’s a gap worth seeing too.

Share a view with the family, or just hand them the packet.

Doing this with a parent

This doesn’t have to be a hard conversation.

You don’t have to sit everyone down and talk about death. You can simply say:

“Let’s make sure we all know what to do.”

Kin is built to be handed over. Most families start with one person, then bring the others in when there’s something to look at. Share your picture when you’re ready, not before.

Two documents your family will actually use.

The “when the time comes” packet

If something happened tomorrow, who pays the mortgage? The plain-language runbook for whoever steps in: every bill that must keep getting paid, from which account, plus who to call and where everything lives.
