Recognizing the Gaps

The idea for the DARCi Registry was born out of frustration and necessity. As practicing lawyers with backgrounds in estate planning and litigation, our founders repeatedly witnessed the devastating consequences of fraud, forgery, and elder abuse in the management of trusts and legal documents. Time and time again, families were torn apart by disputes over the validity of amendments, or worse, by outright fraudulent alterations that drained estates and ruined legacies. They saw how these issues often stemmed from a lack of centralized oversight and security, leaving trustmakers vulnerable to exploitation. Determined to address these systemic problems, they envisioned a solution that would not only prevent such injustices but also provide peace of mind to everyone involved in trust administration.

Developing DARCi: Digital Transformation for Legacy Processes

What began as an idea quickly turned into a mission. Drawing on their legal expertise and deep understanding of the challenges faced by trustmakers, attorneys, and financial professionals, the founders collaborated with technologists and compliance experts to develop the DARCi Registry. The platform was designed to create a secure, centralized system for registering and managing trusts and other critical legal documents. It incorporates cutting-edge technology to prevent unauthorized amendments, streamline administrative processes, and notify stakeholders of important changes. Since its launch, DARCi has grown into a comprehensive solution, safeguarding not just trusts but evolving to support a wide range of legal documents, bringing security, transparency, and trust to an industry segment long overdue for innovation.
