The Life Vault

Everything the Vault does for you

A personal, encrypted binder that stays on your computer. What you keep in it, how it serves you every day, and how it is passed on.

Your loved ones

Who to notify, and who is who

Your family, drawn simply. When the day comes, no one wonders who to call or how each person is related.

Passing it on

No one can open it alone

Your password is the key to the vault. LEGATEM splits it into pieces, which you give to people you trust. You choose how many pieces to create, up to ten, and how many will be needed to open it.

  • One piece alone reveals nothing.
  • Losing a piece does not prevent opening, as long as enough remain.
  • If you change your password, you create new pieces.
In the Vault

Each piece has its keeper

You note who you gave each piece to. When the day comes, your loved ones open the file, choose “Open with the pieces of the key” and enter them.

The 'pieces of your key' window.
Duo

Your vault for two

You start together, or bring together two Solo vaults already filled in: nothing has to be redone. Each has their own password and space; “Our home” belongs to both.
