Erbnis compared with the tools you probably already use
Many people already have a password manager, an Apple or Google account with built-in estate features, or are thinking about seeing a notary. All of that is worthwhile. The question isn't whether these tools are good, but what they were built for and where the gaps remain. These pages compare honestly, without talking down the competition.
What to look for in a digital-estate solution
- Coverage
- Does the tool cover only passwords, or also wishes, documents, account overviews and instructions for the people you leave behind?
- Trigger
- What happens automatically after a death — and what depends on someone actively finding a folder or being handed a password?
- Control
- Can you decide who sees what and when, or is it all-or-nothing?
- Jurisdiction
- Is the solution tied to one provider or country, or does it work regardless of where your accounts live?
- Longevity risk
- Does access still work when devices, providers or family circumstances change over years?
