Common questions

HeirVault is built for encrypted legacy release with check-in timing. Trustworthy is built as a collaborative family document and account system. Different jobs: shared family organization versus leave, check-in, and claim with an end-to-end encrypted live vault.

If your main need is shared day-to-day family records, a family OS fits better. If you need contents encrypted until release rules fire, HeirVault fits better.

No. Your live vault is protected by end-to-end encryption. It encrypts in your browser before upload, so HeirVault cannot decrypt it. HeirVault-assisted delivery stores a protected key for that beneficiary handoff only and transfers it to the beneficiary account after claim. That means assisted handoffs are not end-to-end to the beneficiary alone. Invite now and shared beneficiary passphrase delivery keep the handoff key off HeirVault servers.
