Pillar 08 · Estate Planning & Legacy

Wealth transfer fails on paperwork —
not tax law.

Five essential documents, a beneficiary audit, a probate exposure estimate and a legacy readiness score you can actually move.

The number

0–100

legacy readiness score, graded and updated as you finish documents

Illustrative outcome target for this pillar. Not a guarantee — your results will vary based on your situation.
What's inside

Everything you need for estate planning & legacy.

Straight answer on timing: everything below ships with the app on September 1, 2026, except the items marked Coming soon — those land in a later release, and we'd rather tell you now than surprise you inside the app.

Beneficiary assignment audit

At launch

Every retirement account, life policy and payable-on-death account — flagged when a beneficiary is missing, stale, or contradicts your will.

Probate exposure estimator

At launch

See which assets would pass directly and which would get stuck in probate, with an estimate of the time and cost that creates.

Five essential documents checklist

At launch

Will, revocable trust, financial power of attorney, healthcare proxy and living will — status tracked for each, with what each one actually does.

Digital asset access directive

At launch

Password manager access, 2FA recovery, crypto keys, cloud photo archives — documented so your family isn't locked out.

Estate document vault

At launch

Upload, preview, rename and re-file signed documents in private storage, so the paperwork is findable when it matters.

How it works

Three steps. No fluff.

Step 01

Map what you own and who's named

Accounts, property, policies, and the beneficiary on each one.

Step 02

Fix the paperwork friction

Missing beneficiaries, unsigned documents, no digital access plan.

Step 03

Watch the readiness score climb

Every completed item is saved, so the score holds between sessions.

Common questions

Specifics, not slogans.

Is this legal advice?
No. Boss Finances is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice or prepare legal documents. The Estate pillar explains what each document does, tracks which ones you have, audits your beneficiary designations, and estimates probate exposure so you walk into an attorney's office informed. State law varies, and we'll tell you when your situation clearly warrants a licensed estate attorney.
I'm young with few assets — does this matter?
Some of it does, and it takes minutes. Beneficiary designations on your retirement accounts and any life insurance control real money regardless of your net worth, and a healthcare proxy matters at any age. A full will and trust may be premature — the checklist tells you honestly which items are worth doing now and which can wait.
