When someone dies, families face immediate costs, locked documents, scattered information and a slow probate system, at the exact moment they are least able to cope. Solemn changes that.

The journey
How Solemn works
Seven deliberate steps, from the moment you join to a legacy that lasts for generations. Move through each one.
01
Join the waitlist
Be among the first to hear when Solemn opens in the first quarter of 2027.
Set up your account and move through our simple but world-class, secure, encrypted, verified onboarding process designed to protect everything you add.
03
Add your guardians
Choose the people and professionals you trust most, family, friends, solicitors, funeral directors, or others, and invite them into your guardian network through a secure, verified onboarding process.
04
Leave what matters
Store your will, messages, documents, wishes, and important information in one secure place, with your will verified by Solemn to reduce the risk of conflicting versions appearing later.
05
Prepare financial support
We will register you for a trust structure so you can save over time and allocate funds for specific people and purposes that matter most.
06
Verified release
When the time comes, your guardians complete verification and receive access to the will, messages, documents, information, and allocated funds you have prepared for them through Solemn’s verified release process without waiting for months of delay.
07
Become a legacy profile
After everything is complete, your account becomes a lasting legacy profile where family can return to memories, messages, important information, and all of your social and digital media pulled into one place for generations to come.
Step 01 of 07
“The afterwards deserves the same care as everything before it.”
Solemn was built because of what happened to one family. Read why Dale Newman started building secure digital legacy and estate planning infrastructure after losing his grandmother.
The things that actually matter when someone is gone, kept safe and ready to reach the right people.
Your will & documents
One verified version of your will and key documents, so there is no confusion and no conflicting copies appearing later.
Messages & wishes
Personal messages and final wishes, delivered to the right person at the right moment, in your own words.
Your trusted people
The guardians you choose are verified and held in a clear chain of trust, so the right hands hold the keys.
Financial support
Funds set aside in a trust structure and allocated to specific people and purposes, available for release upon passing.
Critical information
Accounts, passwords, instructions and the practical details loved ones would otherwise spend months chasing.
Your digital legacy
Memories, photos and social and digital media drawn into one lasting profile that family can return to for generations.
Security & verification
Trust you can see, not just take on faith.
Solemn is built so that your most private information stays private until the precise moment it should be shared, and only with the people you named.
Encrypted at every layer
Your data is protected with end-to-end encryption, so it is unreadable to anyone it was not meant for, including us.
Verified identity
Every guardian completes identity verification before they can ever be trusted with access.
Role-based access
Each person sees only what you assigned to them, never the whole picture unless you choose it.
Controlled, audited release
Access opens only when verification conditions are met, with a clear record of every step.
The people you trust
Real people. Real trust. Real protection.
Solemn exists for the people you love and the people you rely on, the guardians who will carry your wishes forward with care.

What remains
Some things are meant to last longer than we do.
When the practical work is done, what stays behind is what matters most. Solemn turns everything you prepared into a lasting legacy profile, a place where the people you love can return to your memories, your messages and your story.
Not only protection and release. Continuity, presence and a thread that future generations can hold on to.
Taking care of the afterwards.
Join the families securing their digital legacy and estate planning with Solemn. Early access opens in the first quarter of 2027.
Frequently Asked Questions
Digital legacy and estate planning, answered.
What happens to my online accounts when I die?
Without a plan, your online accounts, subscriptions and digital assets can be frozen, lost or left inaccessible to your family for months. Solemn lets you record what exists, how to find it and who should have access, so the right people can act without a painful search through your private life.
What is a digital legacy?
Your digital legacy is everything you leave behind beyond physical possessions: your will, important documents, account details, messages, wishes and the financial support meant for your family. Solemn brings all of it into one secure place and releases it only to the people you choose.
How is Solemn different from a will?
A will decides who inherits what. Solemn handles everything around it: the practical, emotional and informational burden your loved ones face in the first hours and days. It stores your will alongside your documents, messages and instructions, and releases them instantly to verified guardians, so nothing is delayed while probate runs its course.
Who can access my information after I die?
Only the guardians you name. Access is role-based and identity-verified, so each person sees only what you intended for them. Nothing is released until a death is verified, and every release is logged and audited.
What happens if someone falsely reports a death?
Nothing is released on a single claim. A death has to be verified before anything unlocks, and the release runs through layered checks rather than one person pressing a button. Every step is identity-checked, logged and audited, so a false report cannot quietly trigger access. If something looks wrong, the process holds rather than opens.
Is Solemn regulated?
No, and we are deliberate about why. Solemn does not hold your funds directly. Your money sits with regulated partners and trust providers who are built to safeguard it. What Solemn owns is the release logic, the verified, encrypted layer that connects everything together so the right support reaches the right people at the right moment. You get complete oversight of the process without us ever touching the funds ourselves.
Can I leave financial support for my family?
Yes. Solemn lets you prepare financial support so the people who depend on you are not left waiting during the slow, stressful weeks after a death. The support you set aside reaches them through verified, controlled release.
