If something happened to you tomorrow, would your family know what to do?
MyLegacyLivesOn is the roadmap: what you have, where it is, and what to do about it, plus your own story in your own words. Not a legal document. Not a password vault.

What you get
Make your life transferable
Estate-readiness checklist
Country-specific guidance on death certificates, executors, wills, bank accounts, insurance, and more — track what's outstanding and where every document actually lives.
A private safety net, not a single alarm
A configurable check-in — miss it, and a multi-stage process (grace period, then verifiers, then a cooling-off window) gives you every chance to confirm you're fine before anything is shared. Plus/Legacy plans.
Your story, on your terms
Write what you want your family to know, link video messages, and choose exactly who sees it — private, next-of-kin only, or public.
Next of kin, clearly assigned
Name who should be contacted and who can verify you're safe — roles are explicit, not guessed.
Built for more than one country
Add every country your estate touches — South Africa, the US, UK, Canada, Israel, or Australia — and your checklist covers all of them.
Find the gaps before they matter
Log what you own and what's covered — MyLegacyLivesOn flags a property or vehicle with no matching policy, or cover that's fallen short. Still pointer-only: never an account or policy number.
A pointer system, never a vault
We never ask for passwords or credentials — just where to find things and who to tell. Your family gets direction, not a security liability.
A QR code for a gravestone or memorial plaque
Generate a printable QR code linking straight to your public story page — scan it graveside to read someone's own words. Plus/Legacy plans.
What you and your family actually get
A sample checklist and the notification your next of kin would receive if your check-in ever lapsed.
Why this matters
When someone dies, their family often doesn't know where the will is, which bank accounts exist, whether there's life insurance, or how to even start the legal process — at exactly the moment they have the least capacity to figure it out. MyLegacyLivesOn exists to close that gap: a living, editable record of what matters and where it is, kept up to date and ready for the right people when it's actually needed. On Plus/Legacy, an automated check-in safety net decides that moment for you rather than a single automated guess.
Your legacy, not just your estate
The name is literal — this is where your legacy lives on. Beyond the checklist, every account gets a public-optional About Me page — a permanent, shareable record of who someone was: their story, their own words, video messages, and a reference link if they have one (a Wikipedia article, a published obituary, a personal site). It's a place future family, researchers, or anyone who wants to know more can go to read up, not just a document that gets filed away. Set it private, next-of-kin only, or public — and change your mind any time.

Who it's for
Anyone who wants their family spared the guesswork — whether you're married with kids, running a business, own property, or simply want your next of kin to have a clear starting point. Estate complexity varies by country and by life stage; your checklist adapts to both.
