Octopus Legacy

About the Company

When most people think about planning for death and dealing with loss, they think about wills, lasting power of attorney forms, life insurance, probate. But underneath these cold processes is something much more human - the question of 'What will you leave behind?'. It's a chance to share more than just money: leave voice notes, playlists, recipes, and videos. Not something to be rushed, but to be added to as life changes. Co-created in conversation with friends and family.
