About KinMap
KinMap is an independent product built by one person who wanted his own family to know where to start — without handing anyone the keys to his accounts.
Hi, I’m Dave Truett.
I’m a husband, a father of three, and a lifelong personal finance nerd. My professional career is in risk management, which mostly means asking one question over and over: if something unexpected happened tomorrow, would the people who depend on this know what to do?
My wife and I have been planning our family’s finances for the last 20 years. Over that time we’ve built up what most households do — bank and retirement accounts, insurance policies, a house, important papers in a few different places, and the names of the people who help us.
KinMap is my answer to that risk. It’s a simple, organized map of what exists, who owns it, where the real records are, and who to call — shared only with the people we choose. It deliberately asks for less information than a vault or an aggregator, because your family doesn’t need access to your bank account. They need to know it exists.

How KinMap works for you
Ask for less.
KinMap never asks for passwords, PINs, or full account numbers. Your family needs to know what exists and where to look — not how to log in.
You decide who sees what.
Nothing is shared until you invite someone, and each person sees only the categories and notes you choose. You can preview exactly what they’ll see.
Plain, calm language.
No fear, no legal jargon, no promises we can’t keep. KinMap helps your family find information; it doesn’t replace your attorney, advisor, or estate documents.
Keep it current.
A map is only useful if it’s right. A short review once a year keeps it that way.
KinMap is an informational continuity directory. It is not a will, trust, power of attorney, beneficiary designation, financial institution, or authorization to access any account, and it is not legal, financial, or tax advice.
