Resource Inheritance Management Using Trigger-Based Assignee Alerts
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a challenge in managing the inheritance of resources such as assets and liabilities due to owners failing to inform legal heirs about their resources, leading to unclaimed assets and difficulties in estate planning, as records are often incomplete or difficult to locate and access.
Innovation Solution
A resource management system that utilizes a processor to receive and monitor user inputs, including health-related metrics, location data, and user activity data, to determine a trigger condition for transmitting inheritance information to designated assignees upon the user's death.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If owners maintain separate records of resources for safety and security reasons, then the security of resource information is improved, but the accessibility and completeness of inheritance information deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a trusted intermediary system (such as a lawyer, notary, or digital trust service) that securely stores and manages the resource records. This intermediary acts as a mediator between the owner and heirs, maintaining security while ensuring that complete information is preserved and can be accessed when needed for inheritance purposes.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by having owners declare their resources and specify inheritance intentions in advance, before any unforeseen events occur. This advance planning ensures that complete and accurate information is captured and stored securely, eliminating the need for heirs to search for information after the owner's death.
2Reliability
If owners maintain separate records of resources, then the security of resource information is improved, but the ease of locating and accessing records by legal heirs deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The trusted intermediary maintains an indexed and organized system of records that can be quickly located and accessed. The intermediary has the authority and knowledge to retrieve specific records when needed, making the process easy for heirs without compromising security.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides feedback mechanisms to confirm that the correct records have been located and accessed. This may include verification protocols, digital signatures, or confirmation from the intermediary that the requested inheritance information has been successfully retrieved and is authentic.
3Reliability
If owners maintain separate records of resources, then the security of resource information is improved, but the time required for heirs to identify and obtain complete details deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
Owners complete the declaration and specification of inheritance intentions in advance, creating a ready-to-access record system. This preliminary action eliminates the time-consuming search and verification process that would otherwise be required after the owner's death.
Solution Approach 2:
The intermediary maintains an organized, easily searchable system of records with quick retrieval capabilities. When inheritance needs to be processed, the intermediary can rapidly locate and provide the complete information needed, significantly reducing the time burden on heirs.
4Reliability
If owners maintain separate records of resources, then the security of resource information is improved, but the ability to consolidate resources from multiple owners deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges multiple separate resource records into a consolidated inheritance plan. The trusted intermediary maintains individual secure records for each owner while also creating a consolidated view that shows all resources and their inheritance destinations, enabling efficient estate planning across multiple owners.
Solution Approach 2:
The intermediary acts as a central coordinating entity that receives and integrates records from multiple owners. This intermediary has the authority to consolidate information, identify overlaps or conflicts, and create a unified inheritance framework that respects the security of individual records while achieving comprehensive resource management.

AI summary
Methods and systems for managing inheritance of resources are disclosed. The method performed by a processor includes receiving inputs related to a plurality of resources and at least one corresponding assignee via an application. The plurality of resources is associated with at least one user. The method includes assigning a label based on mapping each resource and the at least one corresponding assignee. Further, the method includes monitoring parameters related to the at least one user. The parameters include health-related metrics, location data, and user activity data of the at least one user. Furthermore, the method includes determining a status of the at least one user based on the parameters. The method further includes determining a trigger condition defined for the at least one user based on the status of the at least one user. The method includes transmitting inheritance information including the plurality of resources to the corresponding assignee.
