Phillips & Cohen Associates makes Settld acquisition

The Estate Registry, an innovation created by Phillips & Cohen Associates has acquired Settld, the Sunderland-based death notification business designed to create a solution for those tasked with estate administration.

Settld, founded in 2020, specialises in simplifying bereavement administration.

Adam Cohen, Executive Chairman of The Estate Registry said “We are both committed to making the bereavement process easier and more streamlined for the bereaved and the professionals who support them.”

“Notification is critical, but it is the beginning and not the end of the process,” he continues. “By integrating our two platforms, we offer an even greater notification solution, while providing a suite of critical products and services to our customers and partners.”

Settld Co-Founder and CEO, Vicky Wilson, said “My mission has always been to make the bereavement process easier and less stressful, during what can be an incredibly emotional and challenging time. With the force of The Estate Registry behind us, and working with a compassionate and like-minded team, we can continue to grow and reach more people, not only in the UK but also internationally in a way that would not have been possible on our own.”

Wilson will stay with the business and join the global executive leadership team of The Estate Registry. Settld’s team of full-time employees will also transfer to The Estate Registry.
