Why It Matters

Real Problems Families Face

🔐

Locked out forever

Apple, Google, and Microsoft can legally deny access — even with a death certificate — if no legacy contact was set up in advance.

Crypto disappears

Without a seed phrase, crypto is mathematically irrecoverable. No court order can recover it once it's gone.

💳

Subscriptions keep billing

Families spend months cancelling services they didn't know existed — Netflix, gym apps, cloud storage, SaaS tools.

🤖

AI persona limbo

Your ChatGPT history, voice clones, and AI-generated content exist in legal grey areas no platform has yet addressed for estates.
