All done.
We’re here to normalize estate planning and discussions, and to make them happen earlier. So death draws family closer together, not further apart.
We’re a group of people who have witnessed too many families experience hardship with inheritances.
We reached out to estate planning experts and rabbanim, and created a non-profit organization with a clear goal: to help you do right by your family and protect your most important asset — your children.

“It is heartbreaking for parents to see their children not getting along and it is no secret that older parents fear animosity among their children after they move on.
A simple way of avoiding such family feuds is a clear, kosher will. Odenu was established to encourage and guide young and old in writing a halachic will.
I very much support what Odenu is doing and recommend taking advantage of their services.
May we all be blessed with long life and harmonious families.”

“Sadly, too many fights erupt when there is poor planning, including when people attempt to follow exactly what they think halacha says to do without proper guidance. It’s important to make sure this is done right.
Odenu’s mission to make sure people write clear wills by 60 is one I’m very happy to endorse.”

why
There are challenges that are inherent to death.
But there are also problems that don't have to be.
Making things clear.
If your children don’t know what exactly you meant, everyone interprets things differently, and there are three different versions of your comment about who gets the heirloom.
Every man or woman who has the strength to provide for his family has the courage to take care of them before they’ve passed on.
