FeedbackQuestions about CheckOutPlan™
Why do I need a Team?
When you invite and then add people as Team Members, you provide them an opportunity to assist in the fulfilment of your wishes when the time comes. If no one knows about your plan or it's contents, how can they help?
How do I share my plan with my Team Members?
At the bottom of the form, click “Add to my CheckOutPlan” button and then select “Save”. This will automatically move forms into the "My CheckOutPlan"dashboard and change their status to "Complete." Nice work!
What is that 'fine print" at the bottom of each page of my CheckOutPlan?
This is your own “ID Stamp.” When you select “Add to my CheckOutPlan” + "Save," a form is generated with an “ID Stamp.” It provides important information such as your name, account number, and the date and time the form was last saved. The form is also locked and watermarked, making it easier to prove that this is an authentic document from your CheckOutPlan™ account.
