Practical guides, not overwhelming checklists.
Step-by-step help for the parts of digital legacy planning that feel the most daunting.
Getting started
Getting your accounts organised in a weekend
A simple, unintimidating way to list every account you actually use, without trying to do it all in one sitting. Start with the accounts you touch weekly, banking and email, then work outward to the ones you only remember when a renewal email lands.
Trusted contacts
Choosing the right trusted contacts
Who to pick, what access to grant now versus later, and how to have the conversation with them. The most trusted person in your life isn't always the right choice for every piece of access, this guide walks through matching the person to the task.
Estate planning
Writing a Letter of Wishes
What to include, what to leave out, and why it matters alongside a formal Will. A Letter of Wishes carries no legal force on its own, but it's often the document that actually answers the practical questions a Will leaves open.
Estate planning
Planning for a Power of Attorney
What a Power of Attorney actually covers, and how to keep it findable when it's needed. Covers the difference between financial and welfare powers, and why having one in place matters well before retirement age.
Messages
Setting up per-recipient messages
How to write messages for different people with different release conditions, instead of one broadcast list. Includes examples for a partner, a child reaching a milestone birthday, and an executor who only needs practical instructions.
Security
Preparing for crypto inheritance
Why seed phrases need a different approach than a password, and how threshold cryptography helps. Covers the specific risk of a single point of failure, and how splitting a secret across trusted contacts avoids it.
Passwords
A first-time guide to zero-knowledge passwords
What "master passphrase" actually means, why it's different from your login password, and what happens if you forget it. Written for anyone who's never used a zero-knowledge password manager before.
Estate planning
Building your Executor Checklist
The practical, unglamorous list an executor actually works from: where accounts are, who to notify, and what to cancel. Distinct from a Will, and just as necessary.
Not sure where to start? Here's a shortcut.
New to digital legacy planning
Start with "Getting your accounts organised in a weekend" and "Choosing the right trusted contacts", the two guides most people need first.
Already have a Will, need the rest
A Will rarely covers day-to-day digital detail. "Writing a Letter of Wishes" and "Building your Executor Checklist" fill that specific gap.
Setting up Passwords for the first time
"A first-time guide to zero-knowledge passwords" walks through the master passphrase concept before you commit to anything.
