HeirGuard – Project Story

Inspiration

In everyday legal practice we see the same painful pattern: • Most people without significant wealth have no formal will.
• If they do draft one, it’s often scribbled on scrap paper, unlikely to meet legal requirements.
• That paper copy is then tucked into a cupboard—found or lost after death.

The result? Surviving family members must navigate slow, bureaucratic probate while grieving, or discover too late that a “will” is invalid. We want to end that chaos by giving everyone—regardless of income—an easy, affordable way to create a legally valid will, store it securely, and ensure it is acted upon.

What We Built

HeirGuard is a Minimum Viable Product that will be able to:

Guide users through will creation in their own language, with jurisdiction-specific logic.
Store the signed document immutably on blockchain (tamper-proof, never lost).
Monitor for the user’s death and automatically notify the designated heirs, lawyers and institutions.
Offer an execution service so families don’t wrestle with paperwork while mourning.

We are also designing partner portals for:

Foundations/NGOs – so users can easily bequeath a portion of their estate.
Law firms, banks, insurers – to streamline their workflows and create new revenue-share models.

How We Built It

Stack	Notes
Bolt.new	Visual AI coding environment – ideal for a non-developer founder.
React + TypeScript + Vite	SPA front-end, fast dev cycle.
Tailwind CSS	Consistent styling, responsive design.
Netlify	Continuous deployment from GitHub.
(Planned) OpenAI	Natural-language chat guidance & validation.
Polygon PoS	Low-cost blockchain storage for immutable will hashes.

I have zero programming background.
Bolt + ChatGPT let me single-handedly assemble this MVP in days.
Where Bolt hit limits or bugs, ChatGPT helped me manually rewrite code.

Accomplishments That We're Proud Of

Being able to create a fully functioning Minimum Viable Product as a solo founder without any prior programming knowledge.
Overcoming technical limitations using ChatGPT and manual code intervention.
Launching a secure and localized prototype with multilingual support, jurisdiction-specific logic, and a clean, user-friendly interface.

What We Learned

AI copilots can genuinely empower non-technical founders.
Localising legal logic is hard – full i18n coverage demanded painstaking key-value mapping.
Blockchain APIs are straightforward; designing a trustworthy UX around them is the real challenge.
Even with low/no-code tools, thorough security reviews are essential before production.

Challenges

Stability & bugs – The Bolt container sometimes crashed on large prompts; I fixed issues by hand-editing the code.
Cyber-security concerns – The MVP is intentionally limited; a professional dev & security team will harden the final product.
User acquisition – Next milestone is validating demand: reaching target users efficiently and gathering feedback.

Next Steps

Integrate OpenAI chat for smarter, conversational data collection.
Hire a professional engineering team to audit security and scale the platform.
Sign partnership pilots with charities, law firms and banks.
Launch targeted campaigns to test adoption in the Netherlands, Germany and France.

HeirGuard’s mission is simple: make estate planning painless, tamper-proof and accessible to everyone — so loved ones can focus on healing, not paperwork.
