Company Launches

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.

We launched a beta version a few months ago and are now releasing our web app and a huge new feature set of account discovery, including:

-Bank Accounts: Checking, savings, CDs, etc.

-Retirement Accounts: 401k, IRA, annuity, etc.

-Debts: Mortgage, personal loans, credit cards, etc.

-Real Estate & Vehicles: Personal and investment

-Investment Accounts: Mutual funds, index funds, stocks, bonds, etc.

-And More: Life insurance, unclaimed property, business ownership, HSA accounts, etc.

How does it work?

We search public and private databases, including financial reporting from banks, investment funds, the IRS, and more. Once we’ve confirmed a match with the deceased, we automate the closure and move the funds into a retirement account for our customers.

How do we charge?

Sunset is free to use for our customers. We earn interest on the deposits while they sit with us, so we make some money in the process. We felt this model aligned our incentives with the customer: be fast and get all of it.

Personal Experience

After my father-in-law passed away, the family asked me to take over the financial closure process. So, I’ve personally been through this the hard way. If I can help anyone, my inbox is open: support@sunsetapp.com.
