Josda Planning · Estate organization software

A legal plan is essential. A usable plan takes more.

The people called to act need to know what exists, where to find it and how it transfers. Josda Planning helps your firm and your clients answer those questions during life, and turns the work into a guide the family can use.

Family Estate Guide cover and contents produced by Josda Planning

The resultA Family Estate Guide built from the household’s own information.

From legal authority to practical ability

The documents say who may act. Planning prepares them to act.

Estate documents establish important instructions and authority. But they don’t tell a family which accounts exist, where the original signed will is kept, or how to access important devices. Josda Planning helps clients prepare those practical details during life.

How the work gets done

Start with what already exists. Review what Josda finds.

Your firm and your client each bring materials in. Josda extracts useful details from uploaded documents, with source context where it’s available, so clients review and confirm rather than fill in a blank form.
