Assets are never claimed.
Holdings, policies and accounts remain unknown because the record lived in one person's head or inbox.

A simple succession question
If the family had to act tomorrow, would they know what exists and where to find it?
Estates are rarely lost to fraud alone. They are lost to information nobody could locate in time.
The will version is unclear.
Several drafts exist and nobody can identify which is definitive or where the signed copy is held.
Estate riskDigital assets are unrecoverable.
Recovery information was never protected or shared through a planned route.
Digital wealthAdvisers cannot act.
Solicitors and trustees are unable to progress because the evidence they need is inaccessible.
Delay and costThe Firevault principle
The problem is not only hackers. It is that records meant to last decades sit on services built for months.
Wills, deeds, portfolio records and family history are usually spread across accounts that depend on a subscription, a password and a provider staying in business.
If long-term records are held on hardware you own and control, their survival does not depend on an account remaining active.
Select → Secure → Disconnect → Access when requiredA path that does not exist cannot be used
While the vault is disconnected there is no login for anybody, including an attacker, to compromise.
Accounts expire, hardware does not
Provider changes, lapsed billing and closed services are a bigger long-term risk than intrusion.
Succession has to be designed
Somebody must be able to reach these records later, through a defined route rather than a guessed password.
Ownership is the point
Records that matter across generations should not sit inside somebody else's platform terms.
The succession checklist
Get the wealth record in order.
Start with what already exists. The aim is one protected place for the records that prove ownership and direct what happens next.

Make sure the right person can act at the right time.
Succession planning needs clear ownership today, controlled sharing when an adviser needs a document, and a planned route later.

SuccessionEvidence and guidance
Long-term digital preservation guidance points to owned, separated copies.
Archival and national guidance both treat provider dependency and single-copy storage as the main causes of permanent loss.
The National Archives
Digital preservation guidance stresses managing storage, formats and custody actively rather than relying on a single service.
Read the source NCSCNCSC guidance recommends keeping an offline copy separate from connected services.
Read the source Digital Preservation CoalitionThe DPC identifies provider dependency and inadequate copies among the principal risks to long-term digital material.

The Firevault response
Offline Secure Storage®, then the product that fits the volume.
This page is about the exposure. Capacities, access models, specifications and pricing sit on the product pages so you can choose once the requirement is clear.
Offline Secure Storage®
Offline Secure Storage holds records intended to last on dedicated hardware that is physically disconnected until you ask for it.
Why Offline Secure StorageVault
On-demand access to a digital safe deposit box for family archives, property records and larger media collections.
LUV
A low use vault for wills, deeds and the documents that matter most, reached on a nominated access day.
Storage
Scalable offline capacity from 20TB upwards, designed with the solutions team around your requirement.
Why Firevault
Planning first. Physical protection underneath.
A family should not need technical expertise to keep an estate record safe and findable.
Physical storage
Offline Secure Storage instances are held on dedicated physical hard drives, not in S3 cloud buckets, shared storage pools or multi-tenant infrastructure. Your selected data is assigned to real hardware, with dedicated RAID 1 drives providing resilience.
Physical ownership
Each Offline Secure Storage instance is allocated to a specific customer, with dedicated physical capacity and clearly defined ownership. Your data is not pooled, commingled or held within a shared storage estate.
Physical control
Access begins outside the normal network path. An authorised out-of-band command, such as SMS, controls the physical Layer 1 connection to your #OSS instance. When access is not required, that network path is physically disconnected.
Physical security
Your #OSS hardware is housed in carefully selected, professionally managed data centres with layered physical security, resilient power and environmental controls. Access is tightly controlled using three-factor authentication, including biometric identification, supported by 24/7 monitoring, restricted access zones and a complete audit trail. Firevault Bunkers provide jurisdictional physical resilience across our international infrastructure.
Questions families ask
Before you move estate records offline.
The goal is a clearer succession plan, not simply buying storage.
No. Firevault protects and preserves the documents your solicitor prepares. It does not provide legal advice.
Protect wealth across generations
Start with the records that prove what is owned and the instructions that direct what happens next.
