Find and secure money after a death. Use @SunsetEstateApp (YC F24) to fund a retirement account after losing a loved one.

Finding and closing the accounts of a loved one can take months—often years—and hundreds of hours of work. Most people have to do that while grieving, but now Sunset does it for you, helping you fund a retirement account after losing a loved one.
