Shared Family Plan

One plan your whole family can see

Fidelity's 2025 Family and Finance Study found 68% of parents had not told adult children what they will inherit. The Shared Family Plan puts your intent, roles, and next actions where everyone named in the plan can read them.

Everyone reads the same page

The documents may be signed. The Shared Family Plan is where the people named in them learn what they say and what to do.

Roles, intent, and next actions

You name the plan, choose your trust type, and add your spouse, executor, trustee, and beneficiaries. The plan shows who is in charge, what you intend, and what happens first.

  • Assign spouse, executor, trustee, heir, and advisor roles
  • Capture your intent in plain language
  • See next actions for each person

Questions before you start

Does this replace my attorney or my trust documents?

No. Wealth Transfer works alongside your attorney and your signed documents. It does not draft or execute legal documents; it is where your family sees the plan, the roles, and your intent.

What will my heirs see, and when?

You decide. Set each person to plan summary only and preview the heir view before you send an invitation. You release the full vault when you are ready.

Do the people I invite need to do much?

Each invitee gets a role-specific view with their own first task. You can see who has accepted and who is still pending.

Is the plan only for the grantor?

No. Spouses, heirs, trustees, and advisors all work from the same plan, each with the access you set. Advisors can also open a co-branded family workspace for their clients.

What does it cost?

Family Start is $19/month and Family Complete is $39/month. Family Complete adds the decision log and scheduled family reviews.
