- Automatic identification of financial obligations and debts
- Rights analysis for each family member across doctrines
- Scenario comparison across different doctrines
- Planning options and implications surfaced for your review
- Conflict detection and resolution suggestions

Your Madhab, Accurately Implemented

- Hanafi school: the most widely followed in India
- Shafi’i school: common in southern India and Kerala
- Maliki school: with its unique approaches to inheritance
- Hanbali school: known for its textual adherence
- Ja’fari school: with its distinct class-based (tabaqat) heir structure

- Educational comparison tool for scholars and advisors
Executor Playbook & Death Claim
Step-by-step guidance from appointment to vault unlock
Your appointed executor receives a comprehensive, actionable playbook that covers every step of the estate settlement process. When the time comes, they initiate a death claim through their secure portal, triggering an admin-verified vault unlock, beneficiary notifications, and video message delivery in a single, auditable flow.
- Pre-death preparation checklist for the testator
- Immediate post-death action items and timeline
- Dedicated executor portal with accept/decline workflow
- Upload death certificate and file a death claim from the portal
- Admin-verified vault unlock upon approved death claim
- All beneficiaries automatically notified via email and WhatsApp on unlock
- Video Wasiyat messages delivered to recipients on vault activation
- Government documentation and legal process guides
- Asset transfer procedures for Indian financial institutions
- Multi-will support: one executor across multiple estates

Settlement Checklist
A checklist built from your own recorded estate, in the correct Shariah order
Rather than a generic to-do list, your executor's Settlement Checklist is auto-generated from what you actually recorded: your funeral instructions, your open payables and religious debts, your bequests, your calculated shares, the people to inform, and any digital accounts or amanat to close out, all sequenced in the mandated Islamic settlement order.
- Auto-built from your own Amanah Register, funeral instructions, bequests and calculation, not a generic template
- Follows the mandated Shariah settlement order in seven stages: funeral, debts to people, huquq Allah, wasiyyah, distribution, informing heirs, closing accounts
- Deferred mahr is always sequenced first among debts to people, with a widow's-rights notice shown alongside it where it applies
- The one-third bequest cap is never re-derived here; it reads the same validated figure your document pack already enforces
- Read-only against your data: generating or regenerating the checklist never edits your register, calculation or bequests
- Exportable as its own Settlement Pack PDF for the executor to work from
Heir-Seed Invitations
Turn a completed settlement into your heirs' own Wasiyat account
Once your executor has unlocked the vault and is ready to hand shares over, they can invite each heir to open their own Wasiyat account with a single click, pre-filled with what they inherited. No heir starts from a blank page: their account arrives with an asset entry recording their Faraid share at its calculated value, plus any amanat (items held in trust) the deceased was keeping specifically for them.
- Executor-triggered, one invitation per heir with a calculated share, never fired automatically
- Each invitation link is valid for 90 days and emailed directly to the heir's recorded contact
- New account is seeded with an asset entry (source: Inherited) valued at the heir's Faraid share of the distributable estate
- Amanat the deceased was holding for that heir becomes the heir's own entry to track and settle further
- Only available after the vault has been unlocked through the verified death-claim flow
- The share and figures you see are read live through your executor's own encrypted access, not a stale copy, and become fresh entries in your own account rather than a shared reference to the deceased's data

Emergency Access
A trusted contact's link to what they need, without waiting for a death claim
Emergency Access is deliberately not death-gated: the moment you add a trusted contact, they hold a secure portal link with your executor's contact details, so they're never left without direction in a crisis. If you've recorded funeral instructions or flagged specific contacts as urgent, those appear too, never financial amounts or asset whereabouts. It's the lighter-weight companion to your executor's full death-claim flow: always available, intentionally limited in what it shows.
- Available immediately on creation, not gated on proving anything has happened, unlike the executor's death-claim vault unlock
- Shows your executor's name and contact details, so your trusted contact always knows who to reach
- Surfaces your funeral card (ghusl, masjid, burial site) and any urgent contacts to inform, never amounts or whereabouts
- Link stays valid for 5 years once first opened, and can be resent any time from your dashboard
- Capped at 50 views per link, so a leaked link can't be used indefinitely
- Also the intake point for a confirmed Incapacity declaration, once your executor has confirmed one

Incapacity Planning
An informational card for the moment your family can act, but a Power of Attorney already can't
A Power of Attorney lapses in India the moment its principal becomes mentally incapacitated, exactly the moment a family needs guidance most, and well before any death claim applies. Wasiyat's Incapacity Card lets you record where your Advance Medical Directive is kept, whether a POA exists, and who you'd want consulted as a surrogate decision-maker. Filing a declaration always takes two separate people, mirroring the same checks-and-balances used for a death claim.
- Record your Advance Medical Directive's location and notarization date, whether a Power of Attorney exists, and named surrogate decision-makers
- Filing requires two independent parties: an emergency contact files the declaration, an executor confirms it; no single person can trigger it
- Nothing is released to anyone until the executor's confirmation, keeping the card private until it's actually needed
- Once confirmed, your emergency contact's portal also surfaces any register locations you've flagged to release on incapacity
- You can revoke a declaration yourself at any time, for example after recovery, or if it was filed in error
- Informational only: this cannot confer legal authority; consult a lawyer to execute an actual Power of Attorney or Advance Medical Directive

Digital Nominee
A named person for your data rights, separate from your executor and your heirs
Under the DPDP Rules, 2025, a nominee you name can exercise your data-access and data-erasure rights after your death, a privacy right over your personal data, distinct from your executor's authority over your estate or an heir's share of it. Wasiyat lets you record this nominee as its own, deliberately separate designation, so their role is never confused with, or silently defaulted to, your executor. Today the platform captures and stores the nomination; submitting the statutory data-access or erasure request itself is on our roadmap.
- A single, dedicated Digital Nominee, distinct from your executor's estate authority and your heirs' inheritance rights
- Covers the data-access and data-erasure rights the DPDP Rules, 2025 give to a named nominee after death
- Name, relationship, email and phone are AES-256-GCM encrypted and stored separately from your estate data
- Requires your explicit acknowledgment that this nominee handles data rights only, never your estate or inheritance
- Update or remove your Digital Nominee at any time from Settings
- Captures the nomination today; the statutory request-handling workflow itself is on our roadmap

Hibah: Lifetime Gifts
Formalize gifts to anyone, free from the one-third Wasiyyah cap
Hibah is a lifetime gift under Islamic law, completely distinct from a Wasiyyah bequest and not subject to the one-third cap once the gift is complete. You can gift cash, property, or any asset to any person, including non-heirs, provided possession (qabd) actually passes; a gift made in a final illness (marad al-mawt) is limited like a bequest, and gifts cannot defeat creditors. Wasiyat tracks, documents, and integrates Hibah within a complete Shariah estate plan.
- Not subject to the one-third Wasiyyah cap, provided possession (qabd) passes and the gift is not made in a final illness (marad al-mawt) or to defeat creditors
- Can be made to anyone, including non-heirs and charitable causes
- Supports cash gifts, asset transfers, and promises of gift
- Doctrine-aware: Hanafi permits revocable Hibah; Shafi‘i and Maliki require delivery for full validity
- Link gifts directly to specific estate assets or family members
- Gift confirmation delivered to recipients via email
- Tracked separately from Wasiyyah in all calculations and document packs

Waqf: Charitable Endowment
Plan and track a Waqf within your estate plan
A Waqf permanently dedicates an asset for a charitable purpose: the principal is locked forever; only the income is distributed. From family Waqfs supporting education to community endowments for mosques and hospitals, Wasiyat lets you plan, document, and track a Waqf as part of your complete estate. This is planning and tracking support, not legal constitution or registration of a Waqf, which is handled separately under the Waqf Act and your state Waqf Board.
- Supported purposes: education, healthcare, mosque/madrasa, poverty relief, family Waqf
- Perpetual or fixed-term Waqf types supported
- Dedicate specific estate assets: land, property, or financial instruments
- Appoint multiple trustees with name, contact, and role
- Distribute Waqf income to named beneficiaries with percentage splits
- Track income records and disbursements over time
- Store registration number and official Waqf deed document URL

Signature Capture & Witnesses
End-to-end signature capture, witness attestation, and identity verification
Capture signatures from testators, executors, and witnesses as a tamper-evident record of intent. Signature capture records and preserves your signing; it is not legal execution, which happens on paper outside the platform. A wet-ink signing in front of two adult witnesses is the strongest evidence if the will is ever contested (and is required if you married under the Special Marriage Act, 1954), so we make it easy: invite witnesses via secure email links, track attestation status in real time, and verify identities through self-declaration or Aadhaar basic KYC.
- Canvas-based signature capture for testator/executor/witnesses
- Invite witnesses via secure email links
- Witness attestation portal with legal declaration
- Signatures encrypted AES-256 at rest & embedded in PDFs
- Scholar/advisor endorsement section on compliance certificate
- Identity verification via self-declaration or Aadhaar basic
