Estate & family-document organizer for the sandwich generation

Steal This Idea #2: estate organization for the sandwich generation. When a parent dies or falls ill, the family treasure hunt begins: deeds, bank accounts, passwords, insurance, wishes — scattered across filing cabinets, email inboxes, and one sibling's memory. About 1 in 4 US adults is currently raising kids while also supporting an aging parent. For Americans in their 40s, it's more than half. The fix is unglamorous: one service that finds and organizes everything BEFORE the crisis — sold through the estate attorneys and advisors who already get the panicked calls. Legal tech does wills. Nobody owns "find everything, in one place." The ugly first version is a human with a checklist and a secure vault. No app required. Why now: the largest wealth transfer in history is moving through the least organized paperwork in history. Who's building this?
