A personal continuity plan

Your life.
Your plan.
Always.

One private place for the things your family would need if something happened to you: who you've named to act for you, the signed documents behind those appointments, and, based on what you've recorded, whether each of those people could act today under Florida's general rules.

PlanAlways is in private use by one family while it is being built. It is not open for sign-ups.

Built on a few rules that don't bend

Everything below is built into the private app, with the limits stated in each card. The document steps have been tested in code but not yet used on a real document. What isn't built yet is listed further down.

Being named isn't the same as being able to act

Under Florida's general rules, an executor (Florida says “personal representative”) acts only after a court appoints them, a power of attorney ends at death, and a successor trustee needs no court appointment. For each person you name, PlanAlways shows whether those rules would let them act right now, based on what you've recorded, and why not if they can't. It doesn't read a document's own terms or check that it was properly signed and witnessed.

Your documents are encrypted before they leave your device

Your will, trust and powers of attorney are encrypted in your browser before they're uploaded, so storage holds only scrambled copies. The key that opens them is held by the PlanAlways server, which checks each file as it arrives. This is not end-to-end encryption: whoever runs the server could open them.

Nothing can be overwritten or deleted from inside PlanAlways. A newer copy becomes a new version, and if a stored copy were removed or changed, the next check would show it. Each time you open a document in PlanAlways, a receipt with your reason is saved first. What's stored is a faithful copy, not the original, so keep your signed originals safe.

A report is not proof

PlanAlways can't yet take a report of a death (see “Not built yet”). The rule for when one is recorded is already in the database: the people, roles and documents in the plan can no longer be edited, and nothing is released to anyone.

No AI decides anything here, and PlanAlways never decides that someone has died or gives anyone authority. Whether a named person could act is worked out by fixed, written rules that give the same answer every time. A lawyer has not yet reviewed them.

Signing in reaches nothing on its own

Having an account doesn't open anyone's plan. Each person is admitted explicitly, one at a time. Inside PlanAlways, only the plan's owner can open its documents.

Not built yet

  • Letting family, an attorney or an executor in. There is no screen yet for admitting anyone besides the plan's owner, and nothing, including your documents, is released to anyone after a death or incapacity. Today your family can't use PlanAlways on their own.
  • Reporting and checking a death or incapacity. There is no way yet for family to report one, for the owner to be asked first, or for a death certificate or court appointment to be checked.
  • Anyone checking your documents. PlanAlways can show a copy hasn't changed since upload. It can't tell whether a document is valid, properly signed and witnessed, or your latest.
  • What you own and owe, and who inherits it. Accounts, property, debts and beneficiary designations. Next to be built.
  • A plan score. One number with its full breakdown and the reasons behind it, never a number on its own.
  • Connections to banks, insurers or courts. There are none. PlanAlways works only from what you enter and the documents you upload.

PlanAlways is a planning aid. It does not give legal advice, does not give personalized investment or financial advice, and does not make medical decisions. Your documents and, where required, a court decide who may act.

PlanAlways es una herramienta de planificación. No brinda asesoría legal, no brinda asesoría personalizada sobre inversiones ni sobre finanzas, y no toma decisiones médicas. Quién puede actuar lo deciden los documentos de usted y, cuando la ley lo exige, un tribunal.
