Bereavement admin is hard enough without the confusion
Most executors are left to figure it out alone. Banks, councils, HMRC, pensions, probate — each with their own process. It doesn't have to be this way.
Dozens of organisations to notify
Banks, utilities, HMRC, insurers, pension providers, councils — each with different requirements. Passage builds your notification list and drafts the letters.
Complex legal steps
Probate, inheritance tax, and legal deadlines can feel overwhelming. Passage helps you understand each step and know when to get professional help.
Doing it while grieving
40% of executors experience mental health decline. The emotional weight makes every task feel heavier. Passage takes the thinking out of it, so you can focus on yourself.
No clear starting point
33% of executors have zero prior knowledge of probate. Passage creates a prioritised task list based on your situation — you always know what comes next.
How Passage does the heavy lifting
From a few questions to letters, lists, and guidance — in under two minutes.
Tell us your situation
Answer a few gentle questions about the bereavement and your role. No jargon, no pressure. Takes about two minutes.
We create everything you need
Based on your answers, Passage generates your notification list, drafts your letters, creates your document checklist, and helps you understand what needs doing — all specific to your situation.
Review, send, and track
Review the letters we've drafted, send them when you're ready, and track your progress. Nothing important gets missed.
“Faced with the pending death of my own father, I realised that the logistics involved are overwhelming. So I built Passage to help me, and others, navigate the first weeks of bereavement. I hope it's helpful.”
