How it works

A plan you build once and keep current.

EverHandover is built around a simple idea: you decide in advance who receives what, and under which conditions. This page walks through each part.

The flow at a glance

  1. 1

    You prepare and arm a handover

  2. 2

    A person you named reports or requests

  3. 3

    You are notified and can stop it

  4. 4

    Waiting period and review

  5. 5

    The recipient receives their handover

Steps 2 to 5 happen only if a person you named acts. You can also share a pack yourself at any time.

  1. 1Add your people

    • Start with a label, such as “Maria, spouse”. That is all EverHandover stores about a person until they join.
    • You receive a personal invitation link and send it yourself. The person joins, enters their own contact details and gives their consent.
    • A handover can only be made ready once its recipient has joined. Recipients must be adults.

  2. 2Map what matters

    • Add the important parts of your life by category: insurance, property, finances, documents, professionals, household.
    • Each entry is a pointer: what exists, where to find it, who to contact. EverHandover does not hold passwords, full account numbers or Social Security numbers.

  3. 3Build handovers

    • A handover is built for one recipient. Choose what they should learn about each entry: that it exists, what to do about it, or the attached documents as well.
    • You can also prepare future messages for a date you choose; the person receiving can decline them.
    • Add ordered “Start here” steps and a personal note. Templates are a starting point, the same for everyone and fully editable.
    • Preview the handover exactly as the recipient would see it.

  4. 4Set the situations

    • Emergency is optional and limited to low-sensitivity content. You name who may ask for your emergency pack and how long you have to cancel a request.
    • Incapacity covers what should be handed over if you can no longer manage your affairs. You name who may ask, and what supporting evidence they must provide.
    • Death covers the handovers you prepared for after your death. You name who may report it.
    • You sign a disclosure instruction that states these conditions. You can edit it at any time, and may set stricter conditions for sensitive handovers.

  5. 5The release procedure

    • Emergency: a person you named makes a request. You are notified. If you do not cancel within your chosen period, the pack is released to that person for seven days.
    • Death: a person you named submits a death certificate matching your legal name and date of birth, with a sworn statement. You are notified on every channel. A waiting period passes without you signing in, nobody you named objects, two staff reviewers confirm the procedure was followed, and after a short hold the handovers are released.
    • Incapacity: a person you named makes a request with the supporting evidence your instruction requires. You are notified and can stop it. EverHandover checks that the steps were followed; it does not decide whether you are incapacitated.
    • Silence alone never starts any of this: not inactivity, not a missed check-in and not an expired payment.

  6. 6Recipient access

    • Each recipient sees only the handover prepared for them, as it was when you last armed it.
    • They begin with your “Start here” steps, then the information, documents and your note, and confirm receipt.
    • Sealed documents open with the recipient’s own key part together with the part EverHandover releases when the conditions are met.

  7. 7Practice handover

    • Run the process with example content, clearly marked as a test. Your real handovers are not released.
    • You see whether each person could be reached, could get in, and understood the steps.

  8. 8Keep the plan current

    • Arming a handover freezes that version. Change it, arm it again or revoke it whenever you like; the history is kept.
    • The plan shows what is ready, what is incomplete and what is due for review.
    • Regular check-ins confirm that you and your contact details are current. If you miss one, EverHandover tries to reach you. A missed check-in never releases anything by itself.

Start with one person and one handover.

Add someone who matters, write down what they would need, and see exactly what they would receive.
