Everything that has to happen after a death, laid out in order
Registering the death. Informing the right offices. Notifying banks and insurers. Some of it has a deadline attached, whether you know it or not. Nobody hands you this list. You’re expected to already know it.
Meolea’s Death Checklist gives you that list, in the right order, with the deadlines already worked out for where you are.
You don’t have to face the passing of a loved one on your own.
Your checklist is built for your exact situation, not a generic template.
Deadlines depend on where you are, right down to which German Bundesland. A Werktag isn’t the same as an Arbeitstag; under German law, it includes Saturday, and that single distinction changes real dates. Meolea’s checklist already reflects the rules that apply to you.
Fully private and secure, of course!
If some of it was already prepared, your checklist already knows.
If the person who passed had set up their Meolea account, their documents, contacts, and wishes carry straight into your checklist. You’re not starting from nothing.
If nothing was prepared, the checklist still works. It just starts with you, right now.
100% secure and private
You decide who gets involved and how at all times. We never share your data if you don’t want us to.
Data privacy matters to us!
View it however makes sense to you: as a checklist, a timeline, or a step-by-step journey.
Some people want to see everything at once and tick things off. Others want to know only what’s next. Meolea remembers which one you picked.
We tell you exactly what to do, honestly, even the parts we can’t yet do for you.
Some steps we guide you through directly. Others, like notifying a specific bank, still need your own call or letter, at least for now. We won’t pretend otherwise. Where we can’t act for you yet, we tell you exactly who to contact and what to say.
Start with today’s first step.
You don’t need to work through the whole checklist to begin. Set up your Meolea account and start step by step!
Frequently asked questions about the Death Checklist
What’s on a death checklist?
Registering the death with the Standesamt, arranging the death certificate, notifying banks, insurers, and employers, and handling ongoing contracts. Meolea gives you the exact order and deadlines for your Bundesland.
Does Meolea contact banks and insurers for me?
Not yet, directly. We tell you exactly who to contact and by when. Direct automation with institutions is something we’re actively building toward.
Is this the same as applying for an Erbschein?
No. The checklist covers the practical, time-sensitive steps right after a death. An Erbschein is a separate legal step, which the checklist points you toward at the right moment.
