Sudden is designed to give solicitors, financial planners, and HR teams a way to offer clients and employees a structured preparation tool — so the important conversations happen faster, and the administrative chaos doesn't fall on the people who are least equipped to handle it.
THE PROFESSIONAL PROBLEM
"My clients arrive at their first appointment with no list of accounts, no idea where their will is, and no record of their pension beneficiary nomination. We spend half the session on admin that should have happened before the meeting."
— Solicitor, London estate planning practice
For solicitors
Clients who arrive ready
Sudden is not a will-writing service or a legal adviser. It is the organised record that sits alongside your work — so when a client arrives at your office, they already know where their documents are, who their executor is, and what they need to discuss.
Less time on admin, more on advice
Clients with a completed Sudden vault arrive with a clear picture of what they have and what they need. Your first appointment starts at the important questions, not the basic ones.
Solicitor-ready PDF export
Clients on Core and above can generate and share a structured, readable PDF of their vault information before they arrive. Assets, accounts, documents, current arrangements — all in one place, ready to review together.
Trusted partner listing
Participating solicitors are listed in the Sudden app as recommended professionals. When a client needs legal help, you're the first firm they see.
Better outcomes for clients' families
A client with a completed Sudden vault means their family has what they need if the worst happens — whether or not probate reaches your firm in time.

For financial planners & IFAs
Clients with a complete picture
How often do clients arrive at a financial planning appointment without knowing their current pension beneficiary nominations? Without an asset inventory? Without a list of existing protection policies? Sudden solves this before the first meeting.
Clients arrive with an asset inventory
Bank accounts, pensions, investments, insurance — all in one place, structured, ready to review. The financial picture that usually takes two sessions to uncover.
Beneficiary nominations verified
The Sudden Money module prompts clients to check pension and insurance beneficiary nominations — often out of date and worth significant sums.
Identifies protection gaps before you meet
A client's Readiness Score shows exactly what's missing. When they arrive, you're both already looking at the same gaps.
Differentiates your service
Offering Sudden as part of your onboarding signals to clients that you think about their whole financial life — not just their portfolio.
PARTNER ENQUIRY
"Financial planners who offer Sudden to clients get a preparation tool that means your first appointment starts at the important questions, not the basic ones."
Most employees say financial wellbeing benefits influence how they feel about their employer. Estate readiness is the financial wellbeing gap that almost no employer currently addresses — and the one that matters most when something goes wrong.
Meaningful, differentiated benefit
Sudden is the kind of benefit that employees remember. Not a voucher. Not a discount scheme. A tool that protects their family in a genuine emergency.
Complements your employer payout benefit
Many employers pay out a lump sum to an employee's family if they die while employed — often worth several times their salary. Sudden helps families find and claim it. Many currently don't know it exists.
Reduces HR burden after employee death
When an employee dies, HR faces an immense administrative burden with grieving families. Employees with a completed Sudden vault leave their families better equipped to navigate this independently.
Group pricing available
Employer plans available for teams of 10+. Employees get full paid-plan access. HR gets a single dashboard and invoice. No individual billing complexity.
