About Planbye
As a professional car rally driver, living on the edge is both, exciting for me but nerve wracking for my family. In 2006, I was met with my worst fears. A major accident sent my navigator and I through a life-threating fall down a hill. It felt like the end. As the Maruti Gypsy furiously sped down, I wanted one last opportunity to tell my family how much I loved them.
Thanks to the advanced safety equipment, we survived to tell the tale, but it changed my thinking forever. I woke up from a stupor and realised that apart from professing my love and gratitude to my family, I had not organised and formally shared so many personal details of assets and investments. I could have possibly left them in a maze of documents, procedures and administrative entanglement after my death.
Death is a reality of life. While we know we cannot escape it, we avoid talking about it. The topic is dismissed as morbid or uncomfortable, relegated to times when someone is literally on their death bed, or very old. I personally wanted an easy and extremely secure place where I could upload, update and store documents and other important details that wanted to share after my death. That’s why PlanBye was born. From conception to now, the platform has evolved to include many aspects of end of life planning, and action points post death.
Planbye is in action in your life, death and beyond.
