Digital Account Shutdown Service for Grieving Families

This is a real, painful problem. Families are overwhelmed and often don't know where to start. The service provides clear value. The hard part is trust and distribution: families need to trust you with sensitive data, and you need to reach them at the right moment. Also, the process is manual and varies by institution. For this to work, you need a reliable, empathetic process and partnerships with funeral homes or estate attorneys who can refer families.

Funeral homes are a key distribution channel; they already handle death certificates. Families often don't know all accounts; need a discovery process. Crypto accounts are especially hard to access without keys.
