Losing someone is hard enough. The paperwork shouldn't make it harder.
After a death, dozens of institutions need to be told — Social Security, banks, insurers, the IRS. Sedare prepares those letters for you, in minutes. See your first letter before you pay anything.
No payment or card needed to start. Your first letter is free — one payment of $49 unlocks every letter your family needs.
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to notify you of the death of James R. ————, who passed away on May 14, 2026. I am his surviving spouse, and I am handling his affairs.
Enclosed please find a certified copy of the death certificate. Kindly update your records and advise…
The paperwork nobody warns you about
In the weeks after a loss, families discover a second job no one prepared them for.
Six months of follow-up
The average estate takes over 200 hours to settle, stretched across half a year — forms, calls, and waiting on hold.
Thirty different doors
Social Security, the IRS, banks, insurers, credit bureaus, utilities — each wants its own letter, its own documents, its own way.
No manual for any of it
Most families piece it together from old templates, spreadsheets, and the advice of friends who went through it too.
Five minutes, four steps, no guesswork

“Two weeks after my father died, I could see six months of paperwork stretching ahead — and nothing existed to help. So I built it. Sedare exists so no family has to face that alone.”

Frequently asked questions
Do I have to pay before I see anything?
No. You can upload the certificate, confirm the details, get your full action plan, and read your first notification letter — all free, no card required. One payment of $49 unlocks the rest of your letters.
What if I don't have the death certificate yet?
Type in the details instead — the name, the dates, and the state — and continue. You'll confirm everything before any letter is created, and your work is saved for whenever you return.
Is my family's information safe?
Yes. Everything is protected with bank-grade encryption — the same standard banks use. We use the certificate only to prepare your letters, we automatically delete the uploaded image 30 days after your letters are ready (or sooner if you ask), and we never sell or share your information.
How accurate is it?
Names, dates, and Social Security numbers are read with 98.7% accuracy. Anything the system is less than certain about is flagged and reviewed by a person, and you confirm every field yourself before letters are created.
Which states do you support?
Any U.S. state, plus the District of Columbia. Sedare reads the certificate itself rather than a template for each state, so where it was issued does not limit what we can do with it.
How long does it take?
About five minutes from uploading the certificate to holding your first letter. The plan is yours to work through at your own pace.
Start with your first letter. It's free.
