Erblotse, operated by the Berlin-based Heritas GmbH, is a legal tech platform designed to simplify inheritance matters for both heirs and testators in Germany. Founded in 2019 by Dr. Birte Gall (Product & Finanzas), Jochen Leidig (Business Development & Sales), Jesper Richter-Reichhelm (Product & Technology), and Dr. Thomas Asmus (Law & Taxes), the company addresses the complexities and emotional strain associated with settling an estate. The platform's content is developed in collaboration with lawyers, tax advisors, and notaries to ensure accuracy and reliability.
The core of Erblotse's offering is a free, interactive online tool that guides users through the inheritance process. By answering a brief questionnaire, users receive a customized, step-by-step guide for their specific inheritance case. This guide helps to clarify urgent questions, such as which contracts to terminate and what legal deadlines apply. A key feature is the digital estate directory, a tool for systematically recording and evaluating the assets of the deceased, which can be used for probate applications, inheritance tax preparation, and the division of the estate among heirs. This digital inventory aims to create transparency and prevent disputes within communities of heirs.
In addition to its services for heirs, Erblotse provides an online will generator. This tool allows individuals to create a legally sound will, helping them to structure their estate and designate beneficiaries, including non-profit organizations. The business model is based on a freemium approach. While the primary digital tools and information are offered free of charge, the company generates revenue by referring users to a network of expert partners, such as lawyers and tax advisors, for specialized, paid services. The platform also partners with funeral homes and other organizations, offering its services to their clients.
