LifeWyn vs EasyInherit
EasyInherit helps a family through the paperwork after a death. LifeWyn makes sure the family knows what the paperwork is about. These are complements more than competitors.
What EasyInherit is good at
- Real human coordination through an administrative maze that is genuinely difficult to navigate alone.
- Deep, specific focus on Indian succession procedure and on NRIs managing it from abroad.
- Service breadth across documentation, transfer and dispute resolution, including mediation.
- Where a family is already in the middle of a claim, a coordinated service is often exactly what they need — and software is not.
What it is not built to do
- Anything before the event. There is no vault, no inventory, no nominee configuration and no liveness detection, because the service starts when the family arrives.
- Preventing the discovery problem, which is the most expensive part: working out what existed at all.
- Holding secrets. It is a coordinated service, not an encrypted store.

Capability by capability
Every page uses the same ten rows, so nothing here is cherry-picked. A dash means we could not verify the capability from public information — not that it is absent.
| Capability | LifeWyn | EasyInherit |
|---|---|---|
Client-side encrypted vault Content encrypted on your device; the service stores ciphertext. | ||
Assets, documents and credentials in one inventory Not just secrets, and not just documents — the index of what exists. | ||
Per-recipient disclosure rules Each person receives only the items assigned to them, under conditions you set. | ||
Inactivity detection with graduated escalation Reminders, then trusted-contact escalation — before anything is considered. | ||
Independent verification before release A verified multi-signal result, not only an expired timer. | ||
Per-recipient release delay you configure A time lock: this item opens to this person no earlier than this moment. | ||
Recipient access without creating an account A one-time code to the contact details you recorded; no signup, no password. | ||
Guidance after the event Per-institution claim steps and a status the family can follow. | ||
Emergency states that are not death Hospitalisation and incapacity release a different, much smaller set. | ||
Scoped access for a lawyer, accountant or adviser Explicit, revocable, logged, and limited to a defined set. |

The honest answer
Which should you use?
If a death has already happened and the paperwork has started, a coordination service earns its fee. LifeWyn's job is the part before that — so the family arrives at that conversation with a complete list instead of a shoebox.
- Does LifeWyn file succession paperwork for me?
- No. LifeWyn is not a legal service; it does not draft, file or certify anything, and it does not tell you what any jurisdiction's law requires. It organises the information such a process needs and guides the family through what to gather and who to approach.
Try it against your current plan
The free tier is enough to record what exists and name who should know. You can decide about anything else afterwards.
