Contribution to Legal Tech
The Erblotse aims at simplifying the inheritance process for heirs. For this purpose, Birte and her team have developed a user-friendly application that helps heirs to get an individualized overview over the legal and organizational tasks that they need to take care of. Additionally, the app guides heirs through the difficult process of listing and valuating the assets of their inheritance. To this end, the team has developed, among other things, Germany’s first digital estate register for heirs.
The Erblotse’s purpose it to improve the inheritance culture in Germany by offering easy access to legal help in a digitally untapped area relevant to a broad spectrum of the society. The team’s vision is to have a positive impact on the development of society and to provide a stimulus for further legal tech initiatives aiming for social impact.
