Why Your Will Needs to Be Different
Traditional wills are paper — lost, contested, probated for months or years. Headstone reimagines the will as a living, cryptographic document: legally grounded where paper law still applies, smart-contract executed where it can be, and updated as your life changes.
The Headstone Difference
Your will is not a static PDF filed in a drawer. It's a contract that evolves with your life — marriages, children, acquisitions, divorces, new assets — and executes automatically when verified death is confirmed.
Smart Contract Enforcement
On verified death, your digital assets — cryptocurrency, tokens, data licenses, subscription revenue — distribute automatically according to your will. No probate. No lawyer fees. No delay.
- Cryptocurrency and token wallets — instantly inherited
- HeadstoneToken — distributed to beneficiaries by smart contract
- Data licenses — transfer or terminate automatically
- Revenue streams — rerouted to your designated recipients
- Digital property — domains, IP, NFTs — reassigned on-chain
Legal Foundation
For physical assets — real estate, vehicles, bank accounts — the law still requires paper. Headstone bridges both worlds: legal templates drafted by estate attorneys, validated for your jurisdiction, alongside smart contracts that handle everything the code can reach.
- State-specific will templates (US, expanding internationally)
- Attorney-reviewed and jurisdiction-tailored
- Multi-witness verification and notary integration
- Blockchain timestamping — your will is what you wrote, undisputed
Living & Evolving
Life changes. Your will should too. Headstone makes it easy to update — add a beneficiary, change an executor, revise a bequest. Every version is recorded, but only the latest executes.
- Add children, marriage, new assets as they arrive
- Remove or revise as relationships change
- Version history — every change tracked and timestamped
- Designated witnesses notified on every update
Verified Death Protocol
Execution begins only when death is verified beyond reasonable doubt. Multi-factor verification — family notification, legal confirmation, cryptographic proof of inactivity. Your will does not fire on a missed heartbeat.
