Why Bekwest exists
Most of what a person leaves behind is never written down. We think it should be easy to leave it well.
The house is quiet, but the light is still on.
When someone dies, a family is handed two jobs at once. One is practical: find the will, find the accounts, work out what exists and who it belongs to. The other is harder to name. It is the wish to hear a voice again, or to ask one more question.
Bekwest is being built for both. It is a place to put your affairs in order and a place to leave something of yourself, made while you are living and on your own terms.
We are building it slowly on purpose. Estate documents are reviewed by attorneys before they open in each state. Anything that recreates a voice or a face needs that person's own recorded consent. Anything that moves assets is audited first.
The name comes from bequest: a thing handed on. That is all this is meant to be. A careful way to hand things on.
