HeirVault

For families

Will copies and policies, ready when they need them.

What this is not

HeirVault is not a will drafter, trust, or estate attorney. You still need proper legal documents and counsel. What we do: hold encrypted copies of those files, plus the instructions you leave, until the contacts you name can claim them.

The path

Four steps, start to claim

  1. 01

    Leave

    Upload will copies, policies, and letters. Everything encrypts in your browser before it reaches us.

  2. 02

    Check in

    A tap on your cadence keeps the vault sealed. Reminders come well before anything is due.

  3. 03

    Waiting period

    Missed check-ins start a buffer first, with final notices to you before anything moves.

  4. 04

    They claim

    Named family members claim only what you designated for them, nothing more.

What families leave

Legal copies and human instructions, together

Will and estate document copies
Upload PDFs of your will, trust summaries, or insurance policies so beneficiaries are not hunting for paper when it matters.
Personal notes and final messages
Messages for a spouse, children, or siblings that should stay private until claim.
Who to call and what to open first
Attorney contacts, where originals live, and a short order of operations beside the documents themselves.
Household and account context
Utilities, safe locations, and step-by-step instructions your people would otherwise hunt for.

Why timing matters

Access opens only after you stop checking in

You keep a simple cadence. Miss check-ins past the waiting period, and only the contacts you named can claim what you set aside.

Start here

Three files to leave this week

  • A copy of your will

    The PDF your executor needs on day one, beside your insurance policies.

  • A letter to your closest person

    The words you want read, private until claim.

  • A who-to-call list

    Attorney, insurer, and the first three phone calls in order.

Honest limits

What this does not replace

A legal will or trust
Estate law still needs proper documents and counsel. This vault does not create legal title or probate filings.
A password manager
Keep day-to-day autofill in your browser manager if you want. Store release logins, docs, and files here for handoff.
Guaranteed notice to every relative
Release goes to contacts you name. We do not hunt down family or prove death.
Why a check-in was missed
Timing rules fire the same way either way. We do not investigate cause.

Full model on Security. Other entry points: Families, Crypto, Founders, High-risk.

Questions families ask

Yes, as an encrypted file copy. HeirVault does not draft wills or replace an attorney. Beneficiaries claim the documents and notes you designated after missed check-ins and the waiting period.

People you trust with specific handoffs: a spouse, adult children, a sibling, or an executor you already named elsewhere. Each person only gets what you designate.

No. Your live vault is protected by end-to-end, zero-knowledge encryption. Contents encrypt in your browser before upload, so HeirVault cannot decrypt your live vault. Assisted delivery stores a handoff key only for that beneficiary's handoff and is not end-to-end to the beneficiary alone.

Yes. Every plan includes a reminder ladder: pre-due, mid waiting period, and final countdown. You can opt out of optional reminders. Keep your account email current.

Leave the documents and notes while you still can

Start free. Same leave-and-claim path as Pro and Shield. Will copies, policies, and notes are protected by end-to-end encryption until your rules say otherwise.
