The process

Simple by design,
meaningful by nature.

Four steps to turn your possessions into a clear, compassionate legacy — photographed, assigned, acknowledged, and notarized.

01

Photograph
your items

Capture belongings as you go. Heirlo recognises objects and writes a starter description.

02

Assign
recipients

Choose who receives what. Add a private note explaining why you want them to have it.

03

Loved ones
acknowledge

Recipients receive a gentle invitation and respond — creating mutual understanding while you're still here.

04

Generate
your memorandum

Export a clean, signed personal property memorandum — a legally persuasive companion to your will.

Who it's for

Built for people
thinking ahead.

Heirlo is for anyone who cares about what happens to the things they love — and the people who'll inherit them.

G
Retirement · Health change

The Grandparent Archivist

A lifetime of meaningful objects — and a family that doesn't yet know what they mean, or who should have them.

T
Mortality salience spike

The Anxious Traveler

Books a long flight and feels the weight of everything left unspoken. Opens Heirlo at 2am before takeoff.

P
Late-night fear

The Worried Pet Owner

Wants someone to actually commit — on the record — to caring for their dog if something happens.

N
Birth of first child

The New Parent

Realizing for the first time that their things need to go somewhere specific. Heirlo is the start.

D
Asset division

The Recently Divorced

Ownership of everything just got renegotiated. Wants a clean record of what's theirs and where it goes.

C
Parent's diagnosis

The Devoted Child

Helping an aging parent get organized before it becomes a crisis. The conversation starter that doesn't feel like death planning.

What you'll document

Every object
has a story.

Move your cursor across the scene. Every heirloom — the ring, the watch, the photograph, the key — carries meaning that fades unless someone is told. Heirlo is where you tell it.

  • Jewellery, watches, keepsakes
  • Photographs and letters
  • Furniture, art, instruments
  • Books, records, collections

Questions

Frequently
asked.

The clarifications most people want before they begin documenting.

Is Heirlo a legal service or a law firm?

No. Heirlo is a documentation platform, not a law firm. We do not give legal advice. The document Heirlo generates is a Personal Property Memorandum — a statutory instrument under UPC §2-513 that doesn't require attorney involvement to be valid in 41 U.S. states. For wills, trusts, and complex estate matters, you'll want an attorney. Heirlo handles everything they don't.

What does it cost?

Heirlo is free to use. Document your items, assign recipients, and collect acknowledgments at no cost. Your first notarized document is free; additional documents are $9.99.

Do my family members need an Heirlo account?

Recipients receive an email when they've been assigned an item. They can view and acknowledge through a simple web page — no app download or account required. The acknowledgment is timestamped and stored automatically.

Is my information private and secure?

Yes. Your data is private by default. Only you can see your full item catalog. Recipients only see the specific items assigned to them. All data is stored securely — never shared or sold.

Does Heirlo replace a will?

No — and we're clear about that. A will handles the legal transfer of your entire estate. Heirlo handles the specific, tangible things a will almost never names: your grandmother's ring, your dog, your guitar, your record collection. Heirlo works alongside any existing or future will.
