Digital estate planning software that stays private
Search for digital estate planning software and you’ll mostly find two kinds of results: paid legal services that help you draft a will, and cloud-based apps that store your information on someone else’s servers once you’re done. Family Ark is a third option. It’s digital estate planning software built to organize everything your family will need — the documents, accounts, and instructions that matter — encrypted and stored only on your own device, with no account, no subscription, and no server in between.
One thing worth being upfront about: Family Ark doesn’t draft your will or power of attorney for you, and it isn’t a substitute for an estate attorney if your situation needs one. What it does is give the documents you already have — or create with an attorney’s help — a single, secure, organized place to live once they exist, along with the surrounding information (accounts, medical details, funeral wishes, emergency contacts) that a will alone never covers.
What Family Ark’s digital estate planning software organizes
- Legal documents — wills, powers of attorney, trusts, and other paperwork you’ve already signed
- Financial accounts, insurance policies, and records your family would otherwise have to hunt for
- Medical information, directives, and an exportable Emergency Medical Card
- Funeral and end-of-life wishes, in your own words
- Emergency contacts and the day-to-day details a family needs during a crisis
Because everything is encrypted with AES-256 and bound to the device it was created on, none of it is exposed to a data breach, a subpoena, or a company changing its terms of service down the road — the tradeoff most cloud-based estate planning software asks you to accept.
