Accessibility Statement
Last updated: May 18, 2026
Our commitment
Plan Your Passing is committed to making our website usable by the widest possible audience, including people with disabilities. We recognize that estate-planning content is consumed during some of life's hardest moments, often by people who are grieving, stressed, or assisting an elderly family member. Accessible design is not a checkbox for us — it is core to our reason for being.
Conformance target
We are working toward conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. We do not claim full conformance yet — many sites that claim conformance are not in fact compliant, and we prefer accuracy. We actively remediate issues as we identify them and welcome reports from users.
What we currently do
- Semantic HTML on every page (headings in order, landmarks, alt text on images).
- Keyboard navigation works on every interactive element.
- Color contrast meets WCAG AA on body text and primary controls.
- Form inputs have associated labels and clear error messaging.
- Audio versions of the book and course modules (Microsoft Edge TTS / M4B audiobook).
- Plain-English plain-language summaries on every legal document — for low-literacy users and ESL readers.
- Spanish-language versions of the most-used tools at /es/herramientas.
- Responsive design that works from a 320px-wide phone screen to a desktop monitor.
Known issues we are still working on
- Some PDF downloads (state guides, the book PDF) have not yet been audited for screen-reader optimization. The HTML equivalents at /by-state and /book/read are accessible.
- Some interactive tool wizards rely on hover states that may not have keyboard-equivalent indicators. We are auditing and adding focus styles.
- Some marketing animations use motion that does not currently respect the user's
prefers-reduced-motionsetting in every case. We are working through this.

Third-party content
Some content on this site is provided by third parties (Stripe checkout pages, embedded calculators, attorney-directory listings, payment forms). We do not control the accessibility of those experiences, but we choose vendors who take accessibility seriously and we report issues to them when we find them.
