Founded after Sam’s mum died suddenly in a car accident, Octopus Legacy have helped over 300,000 people plan for death and find support after loss.
They know the difference a good plan makes and what it’s like when there isn’t one.
When most people think about planning for death and dealing with loss, they only think about products: wills, lasting power of attorney forms, life insurance, probate.
And yes, sorting these practical documents is important, but it’s only the beginning…
Underneath these cold processes is something much more human - the question of ‘what will you leave behind?’. An invitation to share more than just money: leave voice notes, music, recipes and videos. A chance to shape a legacy that is as unique as you are - connecting you with the people you love, in life and in death.
Who does Octopus Legacy support?
Octopus Legacy is on a mission to make life easier for those left behind after a loss.
Losing someone close to you is unfortunately a universal experience – yet the processes following the death of a loved one often make life even more difficult, exactly when you need it the least. There are hours of paperwork, legal admin, and various other tasks that come after you lose someone. This burden can be overwhelming, especially during a time when you are already grappling with grief and trying to process your emotions.
The situation becomes even more difficult when the person who has died has not put a plan together. Without a will, lasting power of attorney, or clear instructions, people are put in difficult positions and left to piece together financial and legal matters on their own.
Octopus Legacy support people who are grieving by providing them with private communities to divide up tasks and create order in the chaos of loss. They also help ease the administrative burden that comes with a death, offering guidance and assistance to make this challenging time more manageable.
However, they also want to make life easier for those left behind before it’s too late – and they help people get their ducks in a row ahead of time and sort out their estate planning whilst they’re still here, so that the burden will be eased for their loved ones after they’re gone.

"I had a great experience and service in making my will. I started with very little knowledge but everything was made very clear and simple for me. Nothing happened without my understanding and knowledgeable consent. I really appreciate the patience and courteous customer service. Very highly recommended."
