Introducing the adeus Executor Toolkit

In creating your will or organising your digital estate, one of the biggest concerns for many people is:

“What happens when I’m gone? How do my loved ones access my important documents and information safely, securely, and only when appropriate?”

That’s why we built the adeus Executor Toolkit.

The Executor Toolkit gives your nominated Executor (or nominated Key Contact) access to your Digital Vault Will, only after you have passed away, and only after we have verified their identity and uploaded a certified Death Certificate.

Why You Might Need the Executor Toolkit

Today, our lives — and our legacies — include far more than just physical assets. Digital accounts, cloud storage, insurance policies, online subscriptions, and scanned documents all form part of the puzzle that loved ones must manage after we pass. Traditional paper Wills, a file in the kitchen drawer, or a box in the attic is often not enough. (They never were.)

With the adeus Digital Vault, you can store everything from wills and insurance policies to account details, deeds, photos, and social media account information all in one secure, private place. 

But a Digital Vault alone doesn’t solve the problem of how your loved ones actually get access when needed. That’s where the adeus ExecutorToolkit comes in.

Secure, authorised sharing only when appropriate

Security and authentication are the bedrock of any credible digital-legacy solution. At adeus we apply bank-grade encryption, multi-factor authentication, and robust audit trails to protect your data. 

The Executor Toolkit adds an additional layer: access is only granted after (1) you have passed away, (2) your nominated Executor or Key Contact proves their identity, and (3) we have received a certified Death Certificate. That ensures no one — and we mean no one, including adeus — can access your adeus Will and Digital Vault.

Peace of mind for you and clarity for your loved ones

When you couple your Digital Vault and Will with theExecutor Toolkit:

• Your loved ones know exactly where to find everything; not an old box with faded paperwork, or an encrypted USB drive lost in a desk drawer.
• They get full clarity on your wishes, documents, and assets without having to dig through paperwork, emails, or fragmented records.
• They avoid stressful delays or administrative confusion during a difficult time, giving them space to grieve and focus on practical matters.

As with all our legacy planning tools, the adeus ExecutorToolkit helps transform a potentially messy, confusing process into a simple, clear path forward for your loved ones.

 How the Executor Toolkit Works

1. You nominate one or more Executors (or trusted Key Contacts) when you create your Digital Vault or Will.
2. You record your important documents, digital-asset records, account details, and instructions in your Digital Vault; from insurance policies and deeds to     cloud storage logins, email/social-media accounts, and more.
3. We securely hold encrypted data, accessible only to you while you’re alive. Full encryption, authentication, and audit-logging protect against unauthorised access.
4. When you pass away: your Executor submits proof of identity and we obtain a certified Death Certificate from the Registry Office.
5. We unlock access and grant them secure entry to your Executor Toolkit; so, your loved ones can find everything they need safely, legally, and simply.
 

Why the adeus Executor Toolkit Stands Out

• Compliant with modern standards. The solution is built to satisfy the “reliable system” requirements that govern electronic wills and digital-estate planning. 
• Better than paper ever was. Traditional paper Wills (or file boxes) are vulnerable to loss, damage, or being forgotten. A Digital Vault with an Executor Toolkit - encrypted, backed up, and access-controlled - provides far greater security, reliability and longevity. 
• Clear evidence and audit trail. We record who accessed what and when offering full accountability and reducing risk of fraud or tampering.     
• Flexibility and peace of mind. As life changes - think new accounts, properties, insurance policies, digital assets - you can update your Digital Vault at any time, on any device, even on your mobile when you are out and about.

Who's the Executor Toolkit for?

The Executor Toolkit is ideal if you

• Want to ensure your loved ones can find all essential documents and digital assets when you pass away; Your will, insurance records, account information, even letters and notes, or instructions for your loved ones to follow.
• Care about security, privacy and preventing unauthorised access: even from well-meaning friends or family.
• Want to minimise stress, confusion and delays for your Executor and loved ones during an emotionally difficult time.
• Appreciate the convenience of centralised, digital storage that you can update as your life changes without the risk of losing important paper files.

Final Thoughts, Secure Your Legacy, on Your Terms

In an era where so much of our lives exist online, with no paper trail, legacy planning needs to evolve too. With the adeus Executor Toolkit, you get more than a safe place to store files and important information: you get a reliable way to make sure your wishes, documents and assets are accessible to the right person, only when the time comes.

With encryption, identity-verification, death-certificate checks and clear audit trails the Executor Toolkit brings the rigor, security and peace of mind that legacy planning deserves.

If you value control, clarity and protection of your legacy, give your loved ones the gift of certainty.
