About Legatus Vault

What it is

Legatus Vault is a secure online storage service for wills, trusts, powers of attorney, healthcare directives, life insurance documents, and letters to heirs. It includes a verified post-death access workflow that releases stored documents to designated heirs once a death claim has been verified.

How verification works

An owner configures one of four verification paths: by certified death certificate, by consensus of designated verifiers, by either, or by both. Once a verification is completed, a configurable hold period begins (default seven days, owner-cancellable). After the hold period elapses without cancellation, documents become accessible to the designated heirs.
