Create a secure and organized plan for your loved ones.
ExecutorEstate is a secure digital vault for the documents, accounts, instructions, and personal messages you leave for your loved ones. Your wishes become their instructions.
Build your vault
You can add or remove documents, images and videos at any time.
Upload everything your family will need: your Will, powers of attorney, healthcare directive, financial documents, insurance policies, deeds and titles, business records, passwords, succession plans, sentimental letters, family photos and videos. Organize them into folders that make sense to you — Documents, Cars, Wine, Jewelry, Business — whatever fits your life.
Every file you upload is fingerprinted with SHA-256 and anchored to Bitcoin via OpenTimestamps. This is a tamper-proof timestamp that lets anyone, years later, prove the files have not been altered since the day you uploaded them.
You can upload directly from your computer or by taking pictures with a cell phone. Both methods push the files into your secure vault and folders of your choosing.
Name the people you trust
You can change this list anytime.
Pick an executor (the person who carries out your wishes), add up to three deputies(backup signers who can also report your passing — such as family members, friends, family attorney, or investment advisor), and list your heirs (the people who receive what you leave behind). The executor and deputies (if you choose to add them) are the people who will submit a death certificate to initiate the release of your documents. The platform is not designed to distribute assets; your instructions and Will are the directive that people will follow. This merely makes those instructions available at the appropriate time.
Once you’ve built your contact list, send them an invite link to your account. They then create their own free account, accept, and they appear on your plan. They never see your documents until a death certificate has been presented; they only see that they were named.
If you would only like to place a will in the vault and have that document released at the appropriate time, then you can keep it simple and have one document go to one person. You determine how many documents, photos, and videos — and how many people — you make this available to.
We do not draft legal documents, and we are not a substitute for a lawyer. For a Will or trust, consult a licensed attorney in your state.
Set the rules for how documents release
None of the documents are visible to your contacts until your quorum reports in and the 24-hour grace window passes.
Quorum:decide how many of your named people must confirm before any document releases. You pick the threshold — all of them, two of three, three of five. (One person acting alone is usually a bad idea; two or more confirming together is hard to abuse.)
Cascade fallbacks: for each person you name, add up to three backup contacts. If your executor is unreachable when the time comes, their first fallback gets promoted into their slot automatically after a short grace period you control (default 3 days).
Activate your account: one explicit click on your dashboard arms the plan. Until you do this, the release engine ignores any death report — so a half-built plan can’t fire by accident. You can flip the switch back to inactive any time (traveling, surgery, mid-edit) and nothing can release until you turn it on again.
When the time comes
One of your authorized people — your executor or a deputy — opens ExecutorEstate, writes a short attestation, and (optionally) uploads a copy of your death certificate.
The moment they submit, three things happen at once: every other quorum member is emailed a confirm-or-reject link, you are emailed and shown an unmissable red banner across every page of your account (so a living person can stop a false report), and the initiator’s own attestation counts as their first sign-off.
Each quorum member opens the release page and clicks Confirm or Reject. Once the threshold you set is met, a 24-hour grace window begins. During those hours documents are still locked, you still get hourly reminder emails, and one click from your account cancels the whole thing — clean reversal, full audit trail.
When the 24 hours pass with no cancellation, the vault unlocks. Your executor and heirs each see an Inherited Vault tile on their dashboard with exactly the documents you assigned them, complete with the Bitcoin proof so they can verify nothing was modified. A plain-language “first hours / first days / first weeks / first months” checklist walks the executor through what to do next.
During an active release, your named people can see each other’s contact info so they can coordinate by phone and reach the unreachable. Outside of an active release, that information stays private between you and each person individually.
Safety nets built in
- Wrongful death protection. If someone falsely reports your death, you’ll see a prominent red alert the moment you log in — with a one-click cancel that stops the release and puts your plan back to active.
- Backup contact info. Every named person can record alternative ways to reach them in an emergency — office line, spouse’s number, secretary, home address — so one missed call doesn’t stall the whole process.
- Bitcoin-anchored audit trail. Every document you upload is timestamped on the Bitcoin chain. Years later, anyone can verify the file hasn’t been altered. Disputes over “is this the real Will?” have a mathematical answer.
- Two-factor authentication. Required for your account. The documents you store here are the documents that matter most to your family — your password alone isn’t enough.
- Immutable plan versions. Every change you make to your plan creates a new version; old versions stay in the audit trail. There’s no way for someone to silently rewrite your wishes after the fact.
