Don't let your hard-earned wealth be forgotten

Hi HN,

I'm Jos van der Westhuizen, co-founder of Nexus (https://www.thenexusfamily.com/). Nexus is an online dashboard for family members to share where they have life and health insurance, where they bank, and where they have investments.

After realizing that our families have very little transparency on where we have assets, we discovered that many other families share the same problem. Subsequently, we discovered that billions of dollars go unclaimed every year.

Nexus is our attempt to make families aware of this problem and to make it easier for them to automatically track their estates.

Thanks so much, and we can’t wait to hear your thoughts!

Is the info hidden from the other family members until you die? How does the site detect that you have died?
The names of the institutions will be shared while you're alive. We have partner institutions for monitoring deaths and if that doesn't work, other family members can notify us via the dashboard. We then validate the death report and assist the family members in accessing the estate.
