ExecutorEstate
How it works

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.

1
Step one

Build your vault

You can add or remove documents, images and videos at any time.

Upload any documents, photos or videos that your executor or family will need.

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.

Step two

Name the people you trust

You can change this list anytime.

Pick an executor, add up to three trusted contacts. The executor and trusted contacts (if you choose to add them) are the people who will report a death which will 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 has been reported; they only see that they were named.

If you would like to place only 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.

Step three

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.

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.

Step four

When the time comes

One of your authorized people — your executor or a trusted contact — opens ExecutorEstate, writes a short attestation.

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 trusted contacts 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.
