Legacy planning for the digital age
Plan your digital legacy and end-of-life wishes, your messages, values and instructions, in one consent-first place.

What legacy and end-of-life planning covers
Legacy planning is more than a will. It is the messages, values and instructions you want to pass on, and the reasoning behind your wishes. A Persona records the why, not just the what, which is exactly what prevents family disputes. See digital estate planning, the ethical will and the legacy letter.
Plan it once, governed for life
Capture your final wishes and messages while you can shape every detail, then let Executor Lock™ hold them. Start on the services page.
Legacy planning vs a will
A will distributes your assets. Legacy planning is everything a will cannot hold: your values, your messages, and the reasoning behind your wishes. The two work together, and the reasoning is often what prevents family disputes. See the ethical will and the legacy letter.
What to include in a legacy plan
Messages for the milestones you may not be there for
The values and principles you want to pass on
Practical family instructions
The reasoning behind your decisions, so nobody is left guessing
See messages for my children after death and letter to your children before death.
How a Persona makes a legacy plan living
A document is read once and shelved. A Persona can deliver a message on the morning it is needed, answer a question in your own words, and reflect your values years later, all governed by Executor Lock. See end-of-life planning, or start on the services page.
Create your Persona
If you have read this far, you have probably already decided that the question of what happens to your digital self after you die is worth answering deliberately rather than leaving to chance. The Afterlife AI™ service exists to let you answer it on your own terms, while you are still here to set the terms. Sign up, start your Persona, designate your Trusted Contacts, activate Executor Lock™ and build at your own pace. Build Once. Live Twice.™
