How does After-Death Sharing work?

Disclosure: Some of the links in this post are affiliate links, meaning, at no additional cost to you, we may receive a small commission if you click through and make a purchase.
Our Clients have asked for the ability to hold back sections of their digital vault until after they are gone. We have provided for this need through allowing clients to designate an existing nominee as an ‘After-Death Sharer’ where you set up their access levels to be different upon your death.
Sharing options available
The Client determines what is shared with whom and when, from the top-level folders down to individual files or forms within a section. You will have the following options for each document type and section:
Sharing Now makes items visible throughout your life and after-death. Share After-Death makes the information invisible until after the Clients death.
A Client can designate an existing nominee as an After-Death Sharer if they only want access to the vault to be shared after their death. Any loved one or professional can inform the vault of the death.
Robust information will be required to validate the death before any information or access is shared. This can include sight of the death certificate or being informed by a professional like a Solicitor.
Once validated the After-Death Sharing sections will be activated and the relevant sections of the vault will become visible to the nominated persons.
If someone attempts to report a death to seek access to a vault, these steps are taken to confirm the request is valid. This can provide reassurance that you would get a notification in the event of any fraudulent attempts to access your digital vault account.
