Succession Planning for Digital Assets
Wills handle property. Password managers handle convenience. Firevault handles the offline custody and lawful release of the keys that unlock everything else.
Built For Estates That Actually Settle
Three groups carry the weight of digital succession. Firevault is built for all three.
High Net Worth Individuals
Personal wealth is increasingly digital. Wallets, brokerage logins, identity documents and family records sit in password managers and cloud accounts that an executor may never reach in time. Firevault holds the master keys offline, with documented handover.
- Wallet seed custody
- Identity document vault
- Documented handover
Family Offices
Family offices coordinate across trustees, lawyers, accountants and beneficiaries. A single password manager export is not a succession plan. Firevault provides a controlled, identity verified offline vault that survives staff changes and platform churn.
- Trustee access protocols
- Cross advisor handover
- Survives platform changes
Executors and Trustees
Executors are personally liable for prudent administration. Firevault gives executors a defined, auditable route to digital assets, with credentials physically disconnected from the internet until lawful access is verified.
- Audit trail of access
- Verified identity gating
- Reduces personal liability
Why a Password Manager Is Not Succession
Password managers were not designed for inheritance. Firevault was.
Password Managers Alone
Password managers are excellent for daily use, but they remain online services. Master passwords, recovery emails and vendor accounts can all fail at the worst moment, as recent breach history shows. None of them were designed primarily as succession custody.
- Always online vault
- Vendor account dependency
- Breach exposed history
Firevault Succession Vault
Firevault stores the master keys, seed phrases and succession documents in a physically disconnected vault. Release is gated by identity verification and pre agreed legal triggers, not by guessing a master password under pressure.
- Layer 1 disconnect
- Legal trigger release
- Independent of any vendor
