From estate attorneys to genealogy researchers, discover how professionals and families use ObituaryMonitor to stay informed.
Professional Use Cases
For businesses and organizations
Estate & Trust Attorneys
Timely trust administration and estate settlement
Estate planning attorneys need to know when clients pass to initiate trust administration, file probate documents, and notify beneficiaries. Manual monitoring is time-consuming and unreliable.
Key Benefits
Skip Tracing & Investigations
Verify status before wasting resources
Skip tracers and private investigators waste significant time and resources pursuing individuals who have passed away. Knowing this upfront saves effort and prevents uncomfortable family contacts.
Key Benefits
Life Insurance Companies
Faster claims processing and fraud prevention
Insurance companies need prompt notification of policyholder deaths to initiate claims processing, verify death circumstances, and detect potential fraud patterns.
Key Benefits
Debt Collection Agencies
Respectful handling of deceased accounts
Collection agencies need to know when debtors pass to immediately stop collection activities, transition to estate claims, and avoid the legal and reputational risks of contacting grieving families.
Key Benefits
Trust Administrators
Manage beneficiary transitions efficiently
Trust administrators managing assets for multiple beneficiaries need to track those individuals to properly distribute assets and manage trust transitions when beneficiaries pass.

Personal Use Cases

Genealogy Researchers
Connect with family before it's too late
Genealogists often discover living relatives they've never met. Tracking elderly distant family members allows them to make contact, preserve family history, and attend funerals to meet other relatives.
Key Benefits
Adoptees & Birth Family Search
Stay connected when contact isn't possible
Many adoptees find biological relatives who don't want contact. Monitoring allows them to know when these relatives pass, potentially opening doors to connect with other family members at funerals.
Key Benefits
Reconnecting with Lost Contacts
Stay informed about people from your past
Former classmates, old friends, military buddies, former colleagues—people we've lost touch with over decades. Monitoring lets you know when they pass so you can pay respects and reconnect with mutual connections.
