What You Get

Everything you need,
nothing you don't.

Bequestra gives you the roadmap, the vault, and the connections — so you can focus on your family, not the paperwork.

Guided Checklist

Every task you need to complete, organized by timeline — Immediate, Short Term, Medium Term, and Long Term. You see three tasks today, not fifty. The platform paces itself to where you are in the grief journey.

Life Vault

A secure, encrypted vault for every document — will, insurance policies, property deeds, digital assets, financial accounts. Everything organized in one place so nothing gets lost in a drawer.

Partner Connections

Direct connections to your funeral home, estate attorney, financial institution, and insurance provider — all in one place. No phone tag. No repeating yourself. One case file that everyone works from.

Bank-Level Security

AES-256 encryption on every document. Role-controlled access so only the right people see what they need to see. Building toward HIPAA compliance and SOC 2 certification.

Real Human Support

Bequestra is not just software. Our coordination team is available to guide you through complex situations, connect you with the right professionals, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks.

Grief-Aware Design

Every screen is designed with grief in mind. No overwhelming task lists. No clinical language. Just calm, clear, compassionate guidance at whatever pace you can handle.

Life Vault

Every document.
One secure place.

Most families spend weeks searching for documents — in drawers, safe deposit boxes, email threads, and filing cabinets. Bequestra's Life Vault organizes everything in one encrypted, accessible place.

And it doesn't end at the estate. Your Life Vault becomes a permanent record for your own family — wills updated, insurance policies stored, digital assets documented. The last gift you can give them.

How It Works

From first call to closed estate,
step by step.

1

Your funeral home opens a case

At the arrangement conference, your funeral director creates a Bequestra case and sends you a secure link. Nothing to install, no account to create first.

2

You receive your portal

Click the link and you're in. Your personalized checklist, your document vault, and your connected partners — all waiting for you.

3

Work through tasks at your pace

The platform shows you what needs to happen today. Three tasks, not fifty. Check them off when you're ready. Come back when you can.

4

Partners stay connected

Your estate attorney, financial advisor, and insurance carrier can see exactly where things stand — without you making a single phone call.

5

The vault stays forever

Long after the estate closes, your Life Vault remains. Anniversary reminders. Document storage. A record for your own family when the time comes.

Bequestra helped our family stay organized, informed, and supported during the hardest time. Everything we needed was right there.

The Anderson Family
Cleveland, OH

I had no idea where to start. The checklist told me exactly what to do and when. I didn't have to think — I just had to follow the steps.

Michael T.
Son, Lakewood OH

We were scattered across three states trying to handle my mother's estate. Bequestra gave us one place to coordinate everything.
