Legacy Vault

The vault a beneficiary inherits, and how it differs from the one you own.

A Legacy Vault is the container an inheritance arrives in. Your Secure Vault is yours while you are here; a Legacy Vault is what a beneficiary opens afterwards.

A tour of a Legacy Vault (0:30)

There are two ways one comes into existence: you allocate an asset to a beneficiary in DigiWish, or you assign an asset to them directly. Either way BlockWill creates the vault and syncs the allocation into it.

Adding a key to one

Adding an unlock method (0:35)

Legacy Vaults take the same unlock methods as Secure Vaults, and the same rule applies: more than one, or a lost device becomes a lost inheritance.

How the beneficiary actually receives their key is your decision as the owner. It can be handed over in a witnessed ceremony, left as a clue, given outright, or held by your executor until it is needed.
