CarryOn vs Resolve Legacy
A Family Readiness Plan that organizes wishes, documents, contacts and next steps, with AI that helps organize and find gaps and permissions that can differ before and after a loss.

Common questions
Is Resolve Legacy available now?
As of the date we checked, Resolve Legacy’s site offered early access and did not publish pricing. CarryOn is available today with published pricing.
Both use AI — what’s the difference?
Both use AI to organize and find gaps. CarryOn’s Estate Guardian™ AI reads your documents only when you ask it to, uses a trusted AI service under contract, and your documents are never used to teach it.
Which is better for a family with an advisor?
CarryOn includes a partner portal so an advisor or organization can set up client portals, import a roster and hand each family their plan.
