Everything your family would need. Delivered only if you stop checking in.

One thing only: sustained silence. We reach out periodically by email and SMS, and any single answer resets the clock. Missing one message does nothing. Only a full unanswered reminder sequence sends invitations to the people you named. Nothing is date-based, and nothing is triggered by anyone else.

One missed message is never enough to start anything. Reminders go to your email and your phone, so you can confirm from any device: a laptop, a borrowed phone, a tablet at the hospital. Every check-in and answer is timestamped in your audit trail, so you can always check where you stand. When you choose grantees, name at least one person who'd be at your side in an emergency.

Your files really are stored with us, under bank-level encryption. The difference is the condition: a backup gives you a second copy of everything, My Lasts gives specific people specific files at one specific moment. It's the shortlist, not the archive. Keep your photo backups where they are. Put here the twelve things your family would have to find.

No, and it isn't a substitute for one. A will transfers property and names an executor. If you don't have one, get one. My Lasts covers what a will can't safely hold: passwords, account maps, logins, and instructions that would end up in the public record. The two work together.

Your data is protected with bank-level encryption, both where it's stored and whenever it travels. On our side, access is limited to the few people and systems that need it, and every action is logged. Two things we won't spin: we hold the keys needed to deliver your files to your grantees, so we won't pretend that nobody but you could ever open them; and we don't yet have an independent security certification to point to. We'd rather tell you plainly what we do than dress it up.

Nobody, while your check-ins are being answered. Once a handover starts, each grantee gets a one-time invitation at the exact email address you entered, creates their own password, and has access for a window you set, 30 days by default. Every download is logged. The limit: we don't verify government ID, so access follows control of that email address. Use a personal one, not a shared family inbox or a work account they could lose.

Billed once a year, at the price shown on the plan you choose. There's no monthly option. Renewal is automatic at the same price you paid, with an email before each renewal date: no introductory year, no step-up afterwards. Cancel anytime and future charges stop immediately, but the year you've already paid isn't refundable and you keep full access until it ends. After cancelling, your data stays stored for 6 months, then moves to cold storage for another 12 before deletion, with notices along the way and reactivation available at any point.

Fair question for a company that's about a year old. My Lasts is built and operated by LegacyVault Technologies LLC, a company registered in the United States, and we're not going to promise an orderly wind-down we can't prove we'd run. What we can commit to today: your files, letters and settings stay exportable in standard formats at any time, so your plan never lives only on our servers. Export a copy and keep it somewhere you control. That's the only continuity guarantee that doesn't depend on us.
