How it works

When a testator passes away, their beneficiaries can be left with the burden of trying to access important digital assets. Upon vaults allow testators to securely pass on their digital life.

Questions & answers

How can Upon help lawyers with digital estate planning?

Upon provides a secure platform for lawyers to assist clients in managing their digital assets, ensuring that important information is accessible to beneficiaries after the client's passing.

How digital inheritance vaults work

Will there be lawyer-specific Upon accounts for managing clients?

Yes, Upon is building a specific account type for lawyers to help facilitate managing their many clients' digital estates.

This will give lawyers the ability to upload documents into the vault, with audit logs for the lawyer and client, and allow the lawyer to act as a beneficiary to help facilitate the release of the vault and view a subset of the vault contents such as will and deed documents.

Can Upon help clients pass on cryptocurrencies securely?

Upon inheritance vaults were designed with cryptocurrencies in mind. We recommend clients store their cryptocurrencies on a hardware wallet, and then store the hardware wallet pin code and recovery instructions in an Upon vault for their next of kin.

Designed for cryptocurrency holders

What should clients store in their inheritance vaults?

Clients are recommended to store passwords, instructions, wills, and key documents to ensure their beneficiaries will be able to gain full access to their digital estate. This prevents clients from being locked out of cryptocurrency holdings, or spending months dealing with customer support to access online accounts with death certificates.

What to store in an inheritance vault

Is Upon a legal or will writing service?

No. Upon is solely a secure inheritance vault provider and is meant to be an additional offering for law firm services. The vault service includes wording that instructions left in Upon vaults do not supersede official wills. We're technologists focused on the cryptography and security, intending to give clients and lawyers the tools to manage digital estates together.

Can the Upon vault be whitelabelled?

No, Upon is not available for whitelabelling. We believe creating a single trusted brand for digital inheritance vaults is the most effective way to build trust and assure users our platform is cryptographically secure.
