16 Months of Bureaucracy. During Grief. Nobody Has Solved This.

233|195|

The average American dies with 27 active accounts across 12 institutions. Their family spends 16 months — an average of 570 hours — closing accounts, filing claims, transferring assets, and navigating bureaucracy. All while grieving. Death File™ is the first product that turns that chaos into a checklist. Pre-built closure letters. Pre-mapped claim processes. A clear executor dashboard. Your family follows the plan instead of inventing one through tears.

Questions

Frequently Asked

261|223|
262|224|
How is Death File different from a will or trust?
A will says who gets what. Death File says how to actually make that happen. It's the operational playbook: which forms to file, where to send them, what documentation is needed, how long each step takes. Your will is the destination; Death File is the map.
263|225|
What are "auto-generated closure letters"?
For each account you catalog, Death File generates a pre-filled letter that your executor can sign and send. It includes the account number, the institution's required documentation, the correct mailing address, and the expected processing timeline. No drafting from scratch.
264|226|
How does the multi-generational conversion work?
When your heirs use your Death File, they're introduced to the Forged in Trust ecosystem. Your Death File includes conversion paths: your children can create their own trusts, Life Directives, and Digital Legacy Vaults — seeded from the structure you built. Your planning becomes their starting point.
265|227|
What benefits might my family miss without this?
The most commonly missed: Social Security survivor benefits ($255 lump sum + monthly benefits), life insurance policies the family didn't know about, employer-sponsored death benefits, VA burial benefits, and unclaimed retirement accounts. The average family leaves $4,000-$8,000 unclaimed because they don't know what exists.
266|228|
Is my data secure?
Yes. Death File uses the same zero-knowledge architecture as our Digital Legacy Vault. Account data is encrypted client-side. Your executor receives access only after a verified death notification protocol. We cannot access your account details.

Why ChainLock Matters

279|241|

Your trust instrument is one of the most important legal documents you will ever create. Here is why anchoring it to the blockchain changes everything.

Immutability — It Cannot Be Changed

285|247|

A SHA-256 cryptographic hash of your executed trust is permanently embedded in the Bitcoin blockchain — the most secure computing network in human history. Once recorded, the hash cannot be altered, deleted, or disputed. If anyone later claims the trust was modified or never existed, the blockchain proves which document existed on which date. No court can override mathematics.

No Lost Originals — No Destroyed Documents

291|253|

Trust documents get lost in moves. They get destroyed in fires, floods, and earthquakes. Disgruntled parties destroy them. Law firms close and lose their files. The blockchain does not lose documents. It does not burn. It does not flood. Your trust exists forever — independent of any physical copy.

Court-Ready Proof — No "He Said, She Said"

297|259|

In a trust dispute, the burden of proof falls on the party asserting the document's validity. The blockchain flips this dynamic. The timestamp is mathematical — not testimonial. No witness can forget. No memory can fade. The blockchain is the witness that cannot be cross-examined. Present the Blockstream Explorer link in court. The judge can verify it independently.

Emergency Access — Trustees and Beneficiaries Can Verify Instantly

303|265|

When action is needed, your trustee and beneficiaries do not need to find a law firm, open a safe deposit box, or petition a court just to confirm the trust exists. They visit the verification page. They see the blockchain proof. Immediate. Irrefutable. No waiting. No gatekeepers.

Decentralized — Nobody Controls the Proof

309|271|

The Bitcoin blockchain is maintained by tens of thousands of nodes across every continent. No government can shut it down. No corporation can delete it. No law firm can lose it. The proof of your trust exists independently of Forged in Trust, independently of any institution, independently of any jurisdiction. Even if this company ceases to exist, the Bitcoin blockchain will still contain your document's fingerprint.

Permanence — It Outlasts Everything

315|277|

Bitcoin has been running continuously since January 3, 2009 — through financial crises, wars, pandemics, and regime changes. It has never been hacked. It has never been shut down. It has never lost a single transaction. Your trust, anchored to Bitcoin, will outlast the law firm that drafted it, the bank that stored it, and the government that notarized it. Your great-grandchildren will be able to verify it.

$497/year maintains the chain.

322|284|

One price. Every tier. That covers re-verification, chain monitoring, amendment re-anchoring, and the infrastructure that keeps your trust's proof permanently alive on both Bitcoin and Polygon. Lawyers charge $8,000+ for a single blockchain anchoring. We maintain both chains for $497/year — and the proof never expires.
