Inheritance Verification Layer

Verify the nominee.
Release the claim.

Speed inheritance claims by verifying nominee identity and the deceased account holder's death record digitally against trusted registries before fund transfer. A multi-week branch process built on certificates and identity proofs compresses to a matter of days.

The Foundation

The Execution Mechanics

Turn a slow, certificate-heavy inheritance claim into a digital verification against trusted registries.

01.

Digital Death Verification

Confirm the record. The Civil Registry module verifies the deceased account holder's death record digitally against the trusted registry, replacing a physical certificate check.

02.

Nominee Identity Proof

Verify the claimant. The DID and VC Ledger module verifies the nominee's identity against trusted sources before any fund transfer is considered.

03.

Claim Eligibility Check

Match the claim. The Compliance Attestations module checks the nominee's claim against the account's nomination record, so only the right claimant proceeds.

04.

Conditional Fund Release

Release on proof. Funds transfer only once the death record and nominee identity are both verified, removing manual branch sign-off delays.

05.

Fraud Prevention

Block false claims. Because verification is against trusted registries, forged certificates and false nominee claims are caught before release.

06.

Auditable Claim Trail

Record the process. Each verification and release is anchored, giving the bank a clear, auditable record of every inheritance claim.

The Claim Lifecycle

Follow a single inheritance claim from death verification through nominee proof to fund release.

Smart Contract Anatomy

Cerulea decomposes inheritance verification into modular contracts. Each layer verifies death, proves the nominee, checks eligibility, and releases funds without a multi-week branch process.

Applicability Across the Spectrum

Digital inheritance verification is a horizontal capability. Here is how different actors rely on registry-backed claims.

Banks

Verify death records and nominee identity digitally before release, compressing a multi-week claim process to days while blocking forged certificates.

Network & Execution Architecture

Whether you are bridging a bank's account system or connecting registry data, Cerulea routes both into one verifiable inheritance claim record.

Track A: Account System Bridging

For banks on legacy account systems. Claim and release events are translated into signed on-chain verification records through the API gateway automatically.

Technical Methodology

The legacy timeline reflects account operations integration benchmarks. Building digital death verification, nominee identity proof, eligibility checks, and conditional fund release takes a baseline of 7 months. Building the same architecture on Cerulea takes a baseline of 2 weeks, because Cerulea Studio visually translates your verification and release rules into pre-audited WebAssembly binaries and provisions the inheritance claim ledger and release layer instantly.
