MyVault™

Any file that can be put onto your computer can be put into your Vault. This includes video, audio, documents, PDF's, spreadsheets, scans, jpeg files. Anything.

The MyVault™ service uses our proprietary Keyholder® mechanism to ensure that your information only gets to the right people at the right time, and not before. After you have placed content into your Vault, you will name trusted Keyholders® who have access to the content. Each Keyholder® will be given their own unique Keyholder® ID. When the time is right, your Keyholder® will request access to the content in your Vault. At this point, we will automatically send you a notification by email to give you an opportunity to block access to the content in your Vault. You also set up a time delay before the content is released, this can be expressed in hours, days or weeks. Once this time passes, your Keyholder® will be able to view the contents of your Vault.

Your choice of Keyholder® is important. We do have safeguards in place to protect your content, but we would expect you to select a trusted individual as your Keyholder®.

MyVault can be used together with our other premium services such as MyWill™, MyLivingWill™ and MyLifeLocker™. With the purchase of any premium service, you receive a one-year active account. You can then choose to extend the account beyond one year, either on a year-by-year basis or through a multi-year bundle.

If 20 Megabytes is not sufficient to store your key content, then you can expand the size of your Vault with a one time payment. You can add:

No. Services like Dropbox, Apple iCloud and Google Drive are simply document repositories that allow you to mirror your hard drive. The only way you can grant posthumous access to these folders is by giving somebody your User ID and password. You have no idea whether somebody has accessed these files prematurely or even attempted to access your Dropbox or Google Drive.

MyVault™ is an estate planning service. We do not expect you to upload the contents of your hard drive. But rather, to curate important documents that you wish to pass on to your loved ones and family. It is best used together with MyWill™ and MyLifeLocker™.

The true value of MyVault™ is not the storage, but the proprietary Keyholder® mechanism that secures your privacy and controls access to your documents, even after you have passed away. With our Keyholder® service, you can grant access to different services to different people, and guard against premature access to your personal information.

Traditionally, people have talked about a Will, Power of Attorney and Advance Directives (Living Will) as being the complete estate plan. But this only really allows you to make the right appointments.

In your Will, you name your Executor. This person needs to gather up your assets, and contact significant people. MyLifeLocker™ makes this task much easier, by allowing you to document your assets, list key individuals, and document your account numbers and financial institutions. It ensures that none of your assets are missed.

MyMessages™ allows you to prepare messages to family and loved ones, to be distributed after you have passed away. Each message is personal and written for each recipient. Each recipient only receives the message that is intended for them.

MyVault™ allows you to store uploaded content. This service ensures that personal items that don't necessarily form part of your estate can still be passed onto friends and family. Your Vault can include audio, video, documents, spreadsheets, photographs or anything else meaningful to you.
