Years estate documents must survive intact
Threats addressed
Why the current setup leaves this data exposed.
Wills, trusts, powers of attorney and succession plans have to outlast every cloud service, app and provider you use today, and usually the person who set them up. Cloud accounts die with their owner, leaving a family locked out at the worst possible moment. Providers merge, change terms or shut down. And when nobody can prove which version of a will is current, grief becomes a dispute that lawyers bill for by the hour.
The scenario, and what physical disconnection changes.
One realistic sequence of events, then the controls that break it.
Scenario
A father dies at 63. His will, trust documents and power of attorney are stored in a cloud account, and the password died with him. His widow and their two adult children spend months in a provider recovery process while an older, superseded version of the will surfaces from a solicitor's file. The legal argument that follows costs the estate more than a decade of storage would have, and none of it was about the money he left, only about the documents nobody could reach.
Protection
- Estate documents held on physically disconnected, tamper-evident drives built for decades of preservation
- Vault Buddy succession access, so the person you nominate reaches the documents through an identity-verified, time-delayed handover
- Long-term retention with mirrored RAID 1 integrity and no dependency on a consumer platform staying in business
- Held in monitored Firevault Bunkers in the jurisdiction you choose, with clear jurisdiction and a log of every session
Of guaranteed document integrity
