About Kellon
This started with phone calls from families who could not find a will.
Before Kellon, Lynn worked in a wills and estates practice, taking calls from families who knew a will existed and could not locate it. Later, practitioners told us the other half: they could witness a will remotely, but could not yet show it had been done properly.
Years later

One record, kept from the session onward
On the day
Can anyone show how it was witnessed?
The founders
Kellon is built by a lawyer and an engineer, both trained in law.
How we built it
Every requirement in Kellon traces back to the Act, the case law or a practitioner.
What changed our mind
We assumed practitioners wanted a faster process. What they want is confidence the result will hold up, and a cost they can pass on.

Why now
Victoria changed the law in 2021, and the infrastructure to use it has not yet followed.
Nevada was the first American state to permit electronic wills, and it was years before practitioners used them in any number. The law had changed, but there was no trusted way to execute and keep an electronic will.
Where this goes
The record that shows how a will was witnessed is the same record that lets it be found later.
Execution is where Kellon starts. Over time it extends toward the rest of a document’s life, carefully and in step with the profession.
