Why This Exists

"Families in Africa often function like corporations. This layer is massively overlooked."
— AI thesis for East Africa, 2026

African families manage inheritance across borders, decades, and generations. The infrastructure to do this well — wills, trusts, caretaker records, diaspora property management — historically required expensive lawyers or was simply absent.
