Digital Legacy
Ensure your important documents, passwords, and digital assets reach your loved ones when you pass away.
What is Digital Legacy?
Digital Legacy helps you plan what happens to your digital life after death:
- Important Documents: Wills, trusts, insurance policies, deeds
- Account Access: Passwords, recovery codes, security keys
- Financial Information: Bank accounts, investments, crypto assets
- Personal Messages: Letters to loved ones, final wishes
- Digital Assets: Photos, videos, social media accounts
- Instructions: What to do with your accounts and assets
Why Digital Legacy Matters
Without a Plan:
- Family can't access important documents
- Passwords and accounts lost forever
- Digital assets (crypto, domains, etc.) unrecoverable
- Confusion about your wishes and intentions
- Legal battles over estate and assets
- Emotional burden on grieving family
With Digital Legacy:
- Documents automatically released to designated heirs
- Clear instructions for accessing accounts
- Smooth estate settlement process
- Peace of mind that family is taken care of
- Your wishes are honored
- Reduced stress for loved ones during difficult time

How It Works
1. Create Your Legacy Vault
Create a vault specifically for digital legacy planning:
Contents:
- Legal documents (will, trust, power of attorney)
- Financial information (accounts, investments, insurance)
- Account credentials (password manager export, recovery codes)
- Property information (deeds, titles, mortgages)
- Personal messages (letters to family, video messages)
- Instructions (what to do, who to contact, how to handle assets)
2. Add Beneficiaries
Designate who receives your legacy:
Primary Beneficiaries:
- Spouse or partner
- Adult children
- Parents
- Siblings
- Executor of estate
Backup Beneficiaries:
- Secondary contacts if primary unavailable
- Attorney or trust administrator
- Close friend or family member
Verification Requirements:
- Government-issued ID
- Death certificate (required for release)
- Additional verification (configurable)
3. Configure Release Policy
Choose when and how materials are released:
Death Verification (recommended):
- Beneficiary submits death certificate
- Torvus verifies authenticity
- Grace period (7-30 days configurable)
- Materials released after verification
Time-Based Backup:
- If no check-in for 90+ days (configurable)
- Multiple verification attempts with beneficiaries
- Extended grace period (30-90 days)
- Final release if no response
Hybrid (most secure):
- Death certificate required
- OR no check-in for 180 days + beneficiary verification
- Reduces false positives, ensures release
4. Regular Updates
Keep your legacy current:
Update When:
- Major life events (marriage, divorce, birth, death in family)
- New assets acquired (property, investments, accounts)
- Beneficiary changes (new children, changed relationships)
- Account changes (new passwords, closed accounts)
- Legal document updates (new will, trust amendments)
Recommended Frequency:
- Review annually (set reminder)
- Update after major life changes
- Check-in quarterly to prevent accidental release
5. Release Process
When you pass away:
Beneficiary Initiates:
- Beneficiary logs in or contacts Torvus
- Submits death certificate and ID
- Torvus verifies authenticity (24-48 hours)
- Grace period begins (7-30 days)
- Other beneficiaries notified (can contest if fraud suspected)
- Materials released to verified beneficiaries
- Access granted to vault contents
What Beneficiaries Receive:
- All documents in legacy vault
- Instructions document (front and center)

- Label: "OPEN ONLY AFTER DEATH - Password Manager Master Password"
- Store in safe deposit box or with attorney
- In Digital Legacy vault, include: "Master password in sealed envelope at [location]"
Option 2: Split Secret Method:
- Split master password into 2-3 parts using Shamir's Secret Sharing
- Give each part to different trusted person
- Require 2 of 3 parts to reconstruct password
- More secure, prevents single point of compromise
Option 3: Digital Legacy Vault (most convenient):
- Store encrypted password file in vault
- Only accessible after death verification
- Beneficiaries receive access automatically
Encryption
Highly Sensitive Documents:
- Encrypt with additional password before uploading
- Share password using sealed envelope method
- Use for: Full account numbers, SSNs, master passwords, crypto seeds

FAQ
What happens if I die without setting up Digital Legacy?
Your digital assets and accounts may be inaccessible to family. Many services have policies against account sharing, even after death. Without a plan:
- Password-protected accounts lost forever
- Cryptocurrency unrecoverable
- Important documents inaccessible
- Family must go through lengthy legal process for each account
Can beneficiaries access my vault before I die?
No. Materials are locked until release conditions are met (death certificate or extended no-check-in period). Beneficiaries are notified they're listed but cannot access contents.
Exception: You can grant early access to specific beneficiaries (e.g., spouse) if needed.
What if I have a terminal illness?
You can configure expedited release:
- Shorter check-in period (weekly instead of quarterly)
- Shorter grace period (2-3 days instead of 7-14)
- Option to pre-release specific materials (letters, videos)
- Spouse/caregiver can be given early access for practical matters
Do beneficiaries need to have Torvus accounts?
No. They can access Digital Legacy as guests. We'll guide them through the process and provide temporary access to download materials.
However: If they create an account, they can keep materials in their own vault permanently.
How do I update my Digital Legacy?
- Log in and open your Digital Legacy vault
- Update materials (add/remove files, edit documents)
- Update beneficiaries if needed
- Update release policy if needed
- Check in (if using time-based backup)
Best practice: Review annually or after major life events.
What if a beneficiary can't provide a death certificate?
Backup options:
- Time-based release (if configured): After 90-180 days of no check-ins, materials released even without death certificate
- Alternative verification: Obituary + beneficiary ID + family member confirmation
- Attorney verification: Estate attorney can verify death
This is why hybrid release policy is recommended: Death certificate preferred, but time-based backup ensures eventual release.
Can I leave different materials to different beneficiaries?
Yes (Enterprise feature). Create separate vaults or use role-based access:
- Spouse gets everything
- Children get personal messages + financial summary (not full details)
- Executor gets legal and financial documents
- Business partner gets business-related materials only
What about cryptocurrency?
See Crypto Asset Management for detailed guide.
Quick tips:
- Store recovery seeds in Digital Legacy vault (encrypted)
- Provide clear instructions for accessing wallets
- Consider hardware wallet location and PIN
- Ensure beneficiary is crypto-savvy or appoint crypto-savvy executor
Is Digital Legacy legally binding?
No. Digital Legacy is a communication tool, not a legal document.
Legal documents (will, trust) determine who inherits assets. Digital Legacy helps heirs access and manage those assets.
Example:
- Will says: "Jane inherits all my assets"
- Digital Legacy says: "Here's where all the assets are and how to access them"
Always work with an estate attorney for legal documents.
What happens if Torvus goes out of business?
Export your Digital Legacy vault regularly (quarterly or annually). Store encrypted backup on secure offline storage (USB drive in safe deposit box).
Torvus shutdown process:
- 90-day advance notice
- Assist all users with exporting data
- Release all Digital Legacy vaults to designated beneficiaries
- Securely delete all data after confirmation
Our commitment: Digital Legacy materials are too important. We will never shut down abruptly and will ensure every user has access to their data.
