Yes. Check-ins and the waiting period are dead man's switch mechanics for docs, passwords, and files named contacts claim after your rules are met. Your live vault uses end-to-end encryption, so HeirVault stores ciphertext it cannot read. See Alternatives for other tools, or /help/check-ins for the walkthrough.
HeirVault does not detect death or contact authorities. It detects missed check-ins on the schedule you set. Miss one and a waiting period starts with email notices; one check-in stops release. Only after that period ends without a check-in can beneficiaries claim what you designated. See /help/check-ins.
You can leave:
Keep daily autofill in a password manager. We do not draft wills or give legal advice. For a practical packing list, see /help/what-to-leave.
If something happens and you miss check-ins past the waiting period (14 days on Free; 7 to 14 on Pro; 1 to 14 on Shield), they can claim what you set aside. Until then, designated content stays protected by end-to-end encryption.
When release starts, they get a unique claim link by email and create or sign in to an account. Depending on delivery mode, HeirVault assists with the handoff key, they use an enrolled account key, or they enter a beneficiary password you shared. Contents decrypt in their browser.
No. HeirVault does not draft wills, create trusts, or give legal advice. You can store encrypted copies of a will, insurance policies, and other documents you already have, plus instructions, for contacts you name. See the Alternatives page for how we differ from will and estate apps.
