You care for their beginning.

Give them a practical way to plan for what comes next.

Attorney-designed documents

State-specific plans

Flexible ways to offer access

Free document updates for life

A thoughtful addition to your care

A birth plan.
And a plan for their family.

Parents prepare for so much before a baby arrives. You can make estate planning an included part of that preparation, with a simple online experience they complete themselves.

01 / FOR THE CHILD

The people they trust.

A will gives parents a place to nominate guardians and document how they want their belongings distributed.

02 / FOR THE PARENTS

Their wishes, in writing.

An advance directive and financial power of attorney help parents document their wishes and choose trusted decision-makers.

03 / FOR YOUR PRACTICE

A benefit that belongs.

Include Steward in your care package. We supply a partner link, family-facing materials, and help with the platform.

For the families. For your practice.

Care beyond delivery.
Value in every package.

A practical benefit that fits the personal care you already give.

Care they can carry home.

Help parents name guardians and document their wishes. A postpartum reminder creates another useful touchpoint after birth.

A reason to choose—and share.

Add a tangible benefit to consultations and birth packages. Give families something meaningful to talk about; track their feedback and referrals.

Simple for staff. Flexible for you.

Your team shares a link; Steward handles platform support. Bundle access into your care, include it in a premium package, or offer it separately at a price you set for potential margin.

Simple plans for your practice

One predictable price.
New families, every month.

Every activation includes an individual or married-family Steward package. Include it in your care package or offer it as a separate paid benefit. Married couples receive two separate plans, one for each spouse.

Effective costs assume every monthly allowance is fully redeemed. Monthly cost = monthly plan price ÷ family allowance. Annual cost = annual plan price ÷ 12 ÷ monthly family allowance. Fewer redemptions increase your effective cost per family. These are package costs, not guaranteed profit.

Monthly plans renew monthly; annual plans renew yearly for a prepaid 12-month term. Cancel before your next renewal through the Manage billing link below, using your checkout email. Service continues through your paid period. You can also email JSmith@withsteward.com for help. Each plan includes its stated number of new family activations per billing month, with no rollover. Additional families: $29 each, with your approval. Taxes, if applicable, are additional.

From one birth-center family to another

We've walked
this walk.

Our daughter was born at Allen Birthing Center in Allen, Texas. Our son was born at home in Tennessee with NOVA. We know what it feels like to choose a team that cares for your family so personally.

I built Steward to help families take another important step: putting their wishes in writing for the people they love. This partnership brings that step into a relationship parents already trust.

The practical details

Clear from
the beginning.

Have a larger hospital program or multiple locations?

Is this only for married parents?

No. A single parent receives an individual package. Married parents receive two separate estate plans, one for each spouse. Families complete their own documents.

What counts toward our allowance?

A new family activation through your partner benefit counts once, whether it is an individual or married-family package. Twins count as one family. Document updates do not use another allowance. Allowances reset each billing month; unused places do not roll over.

Do families lose access if we cancel?

Families who already activated keep their documents and free updates for life. New activations through your sponsored benefit stop when your paid term ends.

Does my team need to give legal advice?

No. Your team shares the benefit. Steward supports the platform; families make their own decisions. Steward is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. Families needing individual legal guidance should speak with an estate planning attorney.

Are the documents finished when downloaded?

Parents must follow the applicable signing, witnessing, and notarization instructions. Generating a document is a step in the process, not a substitute for proper execution.

How does annual billing work?

Pay upfront for 12 months at the listed annual price. Annual plans renew automatically each year; cancel before your next renewal. Your monthly family allowance stays the same. Annual prepayments are nonrefundable except where required by law. Monthly plans have no 12-month commitment.

Want to start with a referral option?

Offer your families 20% off Steward with a practice-specific link, at no monthly cost to your practice. Families pay for their own plans.
