What Happens to My Vault If I Pass Away?

Your vault is designed to reduce chaos for the people you love during the hardest days of their lives. You decide in advance which recipients receive which documents and messages if you die — exactly as you intended, with nothing altered.

How Delivery Works

You configure triggers such as death, incapacity, or a specific date.
Each vault can have its own set of up to 4 recipients. Your account includes unlimited vaults.
When your trigger is confirmed, documents and messages are delivered according to your instructions — exactly as you set them up.

❤ Our Promise — Your Wishes Are Never Tampered With

Once a vault is delivered, it becomes a permanent, locked record of exactly what you intended to share. No one — not a family member, not IronClad Family — can change anything after delivery.

This protects your instructions from being altered after you are no longer able to speak for yourself. We are on your side.

What IronClad Family Will Not Do

We do not hand over your vault to someone simply because they ask.
We do not override your instructions or “guess” your wishes.
Support cannot release documents manually, even with paperwork.

How to Make Life Easier for Your Family

Keep your will, trust, and powers of attorney up to date and stored in your vault.
Ensure your executor and key decision-makers are added as recipients.
Use the notes or instruction fields to explain “what goes where” in plain language.
Talk to your family so the vault is not a surprise — they should know it exists.

ⓘ Important
Your vault supports your estate plan; it does not create one for you. Your legal documents are still the final authority.

Nothing in this article is legal advice. Always work with a qualified attorney to understand how your state’s laws, including any digital asset laws, apply to your situation.
