Automated life-event compliant workflows that save hundreds of financial advisor hours, creating more time for client acquisition and growth.

Core life events:
  • Loss of a spouse
  • Divorce
  • Loss of a job
  • Retirement
  • Sale of a business & more

FOR THE MANAGING PARTNER, COO, OR CLIENT EXPERIENCE LEADER

Capacity and revenue per advisor. Both already under pressure.

A single life event unfolds as a stack of decisions, and each layer changes what the one before it meant.

  • The documentation: which form, how many certified copies, whether an agency accepts a copy or demands the original, that alone varies before anything else happens.
  • Then the jurisdiction: whether an asset is taxed, how much of it she gets to keep, and who's legally entitled to it in the first place can all depend on the state, and sometimes the county, she lives in.
  • Then the client context within that jurisdiction where a single detail about the client can flip the entire answer: was the retirement account his to begin with, or had he already inherited it from someone else? One path allows a spousal rollover; the other triggers an entirely different rule set. Had he reached his Required Beginning Date? Was there a will, or does the state's intestacy law decide who inherits?
  • Then the expert or institution the answer actually requires: an estate attorney for the retitling, a CPA for the portability election, the insurer with its own state-specific payment deadline, the employer's HR department for a death benefit, a plan administrator for a stock option that expires in 90 days if nobody knows to ask, each one a separate call, each with their own calendar.
  • Then the digital tools required to actually execute it: the custodian platform to move the asset, the CRM to log what was just decided, financial planning software to model what it means for retirement, sometimes a public locator tool just to track down a policy nobody remembers exists.

These workflows are highly complex, spanning jurisdictions, client context, human experts, and software tools, all rooted in a single decision that has to be made correctly. In spousal death alone, there are at least twenty-two decisions like this one.

This isn't just our thesis.

This is already happening at scale. A major wirehouse runs a concierge function for its top clients, built for general lifestyle requests. Across our own 25+ advisor conversations, the same pattern kept surfacing: it's increasingly women who lean on that function specifically for these life events, not what it was originally built for.

DECISION ORCHESTRATION LAYER

The advisor becomes the switchboard.

Every line below is a separate manual thread, a call, an email, a form. The advisor has to pull all of it together in sequence, then manually follow up again each time something changes as a result of this life event.

Our research has shown that this coordination loop can run six months or longer, per case. That's not a tooling problem. It's a missing chassis, there's no shared layer underneath these tools where income, estate, and tax share the same fields and definitions, so nothing feeds into anything else automatically.

The intelligence on this platform comes from public research, advocacy work, and licensed sources

  • Uplevyl is an API that plugs into the tools your firm already uses.
  • Feed it the client's jurisdiction, context, and life event.
  • It returns a sequenced set of decisions, deadlines, and referrals, in under a second.

The switchboard disappears.

We're the chassis those other tools were always missing, not a replacement for them, the layer underneath that lets them actually talk to each other.

Jurisdiction-specific forms, notifications, affidavits, surfaced:
The exact paperwork her state and county require, identified the moment the life event is confirmed.
Connected with the right experts:
Estate attorney, CPA, or specialist, routed automatically the instant a decision crosses into licensed territory.
The right tools, surfaced at the right time:
Planning software, CRM, custodian platform, other platforms in the stack, called on exactly when each one holds a piece of the answer.
The client, kept in the loop, seamlessly, in the background:
Status updates sent automatically as each decision resolves. No repeat calls. No "any news yet." The one thread that used to run through the advisor now runs on its own.

The life event itself still takes months to fully resolve. Figuring out what to do next, at each step along the way, doesn't have to. The advisor enters the client's jurisdiction, context, and life-event status — the state, the account type, prior elections, and the client's age. What used to mean hours of manually researching what comes next, and calling around to confirm it, now comes back sequenced, with deadlines and a referral flag, in under a second.

Widowhood is specified in full today. Divorce, disability, and retirement run on the same engine, specification work on each is underway now.
