Why this is so hard
When you lose someone, you don’t deal with one office. You deal with all of them at once.
Banks, insurers, employers, public offices, lawyers, tax advisors — often in the first few weeks, while you’re grieving, with no map of what exists or what comes next.
It shouldn’t fall on the people you love to piece your life back together from scratch. Meolea turns a scattered, lonely process into one calm, guided handover.

The whole journey, in one place
The only platform that connects preparing ahead with being there after.
Most tools stop at a will or a document vault. Meolea holds the full arc — so the care you put in now actually reaches the people you love later.
Before · while you can
You prepare, gently and at your pace
- Organise your documents Wills, policies, accounts, passwords — kept safe and findable.
- Record your wishes From the practical to the personal: care, funeral, what matters to you.
- Write letters to specific people Words for a birthday, a wedding, a hard day — delivered at the right time.
- Capture your life story The memories, recipes and lessons that would otherwise be lost.
After · when it’s needed
We guide the people you trust
- Step-by-step guidance No guessing. A clear, ordered path through everything that needs doing.
- Practical access, exactly when needed The right documents and details unlock for the right person at the right moment.
- Personal messages, at the right time Your letters arrive when they’ll mean the most — not all at once.
- No one carries it alone Trusted contacts share the load, with Meolea holding the thread.
How Meolea works
Four calm steps. No pressure, no jargon.
-
Gather, gently
Add what you have, whenever you have a moment. Meolea shows you what’s still worth capturing — no overwhelm.
-
Decide who, and when
Name the people you trust. Choose what each can see, and the moment it should reach them.
-
Say what only you can
Record wishes, write letters, tell your story — in your own words and your own language.
-
We’re there when it counts
If the day comes, your trusted contacts are guided through every step, with your words beside them.
Some things don’t belong in a folder
The documents matter. The words matter more.
Write to your children for the milestones you might miss. Tell your partner the things you never quite said. Leave your story so it isn’t lost. Meolea keeps each message safe and delivers it at the moment it will mean the most.
If you’re reading this, it means today is finally here. I wish I could be in the front row — so let me be here instead. Three things I want you to know…
— Dad

How Meolea reaches families
Families find Meolea on their own — and through the organisations they already trust.
Anyone can use Meolea directly. Most people, though, meet us through their employer, their insurer, their bank or their advisor — which is why Meolea is built as a business-to-business and business-to-business-to-consumer platform as much as a consumer one.
Meolea for employers
Employers offer Meolea as an employee benefit, giving staff practical and emotional support for bereavement, caregiving and end-of-life planning. Available for enterprise and small business teams on simple per-seat plans.
Meolea for employersMeolea for insurers and banks
Insurers and banks embed Meolea into their own digital experience, so members and customers are guided through the estate handover at the moment of loss. Deployed white-label or via API, hosted in the EU and GDPR-compliant.
Meolea for institutionsMeolea for advisors and wealth managers
Notaries, estate lawyers, financial advisors, funeral homes, private banks and family offices use Meolea with clients as part of Generationenmanagement — structuring the handover of documents, wishes and wealth across generations.
Meolea for professionalsQuestions families ask us
Clear answers, when you need them most.
Helpful guidance on end-of-life planning, bereavement and what to do after a loss — in plain language, free to read.
What do I do when someone close to me dies?
Start with what’s immediate: care for the person who died, notify close family, and find any registered wishes. Meolea’s free guidance walks you through the first days step by step — what to handle now, what can wait, and who to contact. If your loved one prepared with us, their documents and messages are ready when you need them.
What is digital estate planning, and how is Meolea different?
Digital estate planning means organising your documents, accounts, wishes and personal messages so your family can find and use them later. Most tools stop at storage. Meolea covers the full lifecycle — advance preparation and post-loss support — so the work you do now actually reaches the people you love, with guidance for them when it matters.
How should I organise important documents before death?
Gather the essentials — will, insurance policies, bank and pension details, property papers, passwords and key contacts — in one secure place, and name the people who should reach them. Meolea gives you a guided checklist so nothing important is missed, and keeps everything encrypted and private until the right moment.
Is Meolea private and secure?
Yes. Everything is encrypted, stored in the EU, and built to GDPR standards. You decide who can see what and when, and access opens only through a careful, verified process. We never sell your data — your trust is the whole point.
Can professionals and institutions use Meolea with clients?
Yes. Notaries, estate lawyers, financial advisors and funeral homes use Meolea to give clients lasting value, and insurers and banks can embed the handover experience for their members. It’s built for B2C, B2B and B2B2C from the ground up.
