Document Trunk Launches Patent Pending Estate Planning Digital Storage Space

Phoenix, AZ couple Brian and Natasha Beal and owners of ValueCardAlliance.Com created a digital safety deposit box called DocumentTrunk.Com after searching for a better option to safely store their most important documents.

Phoenix-based DocumentTrunk.Com not only stores precious documents, such as the last will and testament, estate plans and power of attorney, but takes a proactive approach after the user dies or suffers a serious injury.

Beal commented, “We asked our programmers to build a software to safely store your documents, then we asked them to create a list of people who needed to be contacted when something happened, and more importantly who should get social media passwords, who would get the will, etc.”

Document Trunk is a comprehensive estate planning digital storage space which includes lists of attorneys, estate planners, family and friends who should be contacted once the person dies.

Document Trunk proactively searches the internet 24/7 for deaths or serious injuries in its database of users through its patent-pending search feature.

“If it finds a death that matches its member users, it will notify staff, who will verify whether the person has indeed died and then contact the people on the preferred list to distribute the documents,” Beal said.

“This search feature isn’t available anywhere else,” he said. “It was very exciting to my attorney who wanted to use it right away for his clients.”

What started as a convenient way to store vital documents for the Beal family turned into a viable, growing business.

“We thought maybe this was something we can partner with attorneys, trust makers, life planners and life insurance agents,” Beal said. “It grew and grew from that.”

The Beals took about a year to get developers to create the Document Trunk cloud-based software and search function.

“We needed different programming to search the entire internet without getting too much information on each person,” Beal said.

The Beals first had friends and family use Document Trunk, before officially launching the software in March.
