How It Works

Three steps to protect your legacy

Setting up your vault takes about 10 minutes. After that, it runs quietly in the background — for as long as you need it to.

The process

From setup to delivery

A visual walkthrough of what happens, from the moment you sign up to the moment your legacy is delivered.

Day 1

You set up your vault

Upload files, write messages, add recipients. Everything is encrypted with your unique key. Takes about 10 minutes.

Ongoing

We check in with you

You get a check-in email on your schedule — daily, weekly, or custom. One click confirms you're okay. Miss a check-in? We send a reminder.

If you miss check-ins

We send warnings

After each missed check-in, we email you a reminder. You have until your threshold is reached to reset and keep your vault sealed.

If you stop responding

Your vault opens

Once your missed-check-in threshold is reached, delivery triggers automatically. Each recipient gets an email with a secure, unique access link.

Delivery

Recipients access your legacy

They view your messages online and download your files as a ZIP. Links are valid for 30 days with unlimited access during that time.

Step 1

Fill Your Vault

Upload the files and write the messages you want delivered to your loved ones if something happens to you.

  • Upload files — wills, insurance documents, photos, account credentials, letters, anything.
  • Write messages — final words, instructions, love letters, passwords, anything you need to say.
  • Add recipients — enter the email addresses of the people who should receive each message.
  • Everything is encrypted — your files are scrambled with a unique key just for you.

What can I store?

  • Legal documents (wills, trusts, deeds)
  • Insurance policies and account info
  • Photos and videos for loved ones
  • Passwords and digital account access
  • Personal letters and final messages

Check-in Options

Frequency

Daily, weekly, or a custom interval (e.g., every 3 days). You choose what works for your lifestyle.

Threshold

How many missed check-ins before your vault opens? Set it to 3, 5, 10, or any number you're comfortable with. Higher = more buffer for accidental misses.

Reminders

We send reminder emails before triggering delivery, giving you every chance to check in and keep your vault sealed.

Step 2

Stay In Touch

We send you a check-in email on your schedule. One click confirms you're okay. That's it.

If you miss a check-in, we'll send a reminder. Miss several in a row (the number you choose), and your vault opens automatically. You're always in control of the timing.

Step 3

We Deliver

When your trigger fires, each recipient gets an email with a secure link to your messages and files.

  • Email notification sent to each recipient
  • Secure access link unique to each recipient
  • Download all files as a ZIP for local storage
  • 30 days of access — unlimited views and downloads

What recipients see

When the trigger fires, each recipient receives an email that says something like:

"John has set up a secure vault with Lazarus Vault. Since he hasn't responded to check-in emails, his messages and files are now available to you. Click the link below to access them securely. This link is valid for 30 days."

They click the link, see your messages, and can download a ZIP file containing everything you left for them. Simple, secure, private.

Quick answers

Common Questions

How long does setup take? +

About 10 minutes. Create your account, upload a few files, write a message, add a recipient, and pick your check-in schedule. That's it — your vault is live and running.

What if I go on vacation? +

Two options: switch your check-in frequency to a longer interval before you leave (e.g., weekly instead of daily), or temporarily raise your missed-check-in threshold. If you forget and come back to a triggered vault, contact us — we may be able to help depending on the circumstances.

Can I change my messages later? +

Yes, anytime — as long as your vault hasn't triggered. You can update files, rewrite messages, add or remove recipients, and change your check-in settings whenever you want. Once the trigger fires, delivered content is locked.

What happens to my files after delivery? +

Your files remain in your vault. Recipients get 30 days of unlimited access via their secure link. After that, the link expires. Your data is never deleted unless you choose to remove it.
