Getting Started with Digital Legacy Vault

Set up your vault foundation with one collection, one important record, and one trusted contact.

Help article

This article is written for visitors arriving from support chat or first-time setup questions.

Step 1: Create your first collection

A collection helps you organize related information so the right records stay grouped together.

  • Family access
  • Financial information
  • Property documents
  • Business records
  • Emergency instructions

Step 2: Add an important record

Start with information your family would struggle to recover if it were unavailable.

  • Passwords
  • Insurance policies
  • Property details
  • Banking information
  • Important documents

Step 3: Invite a trusted contact

Choose someone you trust to help carry out your wishes if access is ever needed later.

Trusted contacts do not automatically receive access to your vault.

  • Spouse
  • Adult child
  • Sibling
  • Parent
  • Attorney

Step 4: Link collections to trusted contacts

Choose which collections a trusted contact may help with in the future.

You remain in control of release rules and access conditions.

Recommended first goal

Aim to complete one collection, one important record, and one trusted contact. That gives you the foundation of a digital legacy plan without overbuilding on day one.
