Ownership**Asset records** Future**Wills and trusts** Property**Deeds and titles** Investments**Portfolio evidence** Digital**Digital assets** Instructions**Executor pack** Storage**Dedicated hardware** Access**Controlled by you** When closed**No standing network path** A simple succession question ## If the family had to act tomorrow, would they know what exists and where to find it? Estates are rarely lost to fraud alone. They are lost to information nobody could locate in time. **01** ### Assets are never claimed. Holdings, policies and accounts remain unknown because the record lived in one person's head or inbox. **Lost value** **02** ### The will version is unclear. Several drafts exist and nobody can identify which is definitive or where the signed copy is held. **Estate risk** **03** ### Digital assets are unrecoverable. Recovery information was never protected or shared through a planned route. **Digital wealth** **04** ### Advisers cannot act. Solicitors and trustees are unable to progress because the evidence they need is inaccessible. **Delay and cost** The Firevault principle ## The problem is not only hackers. It is that records meant to last decades sit on services built for months. Wills, deeds, portfolio records and family history are usually spread across accounts that depend on a subscription, a password and a provider staying in business. If long-term records are held on hardware you own and control, their survival does not depend on an account remaining active. **Select → Secure → Disconnect → Access when required** ### A path that does not exist cannot be used While the vault is disconnected there is no login for anybody, including an attacker, to compromise. ### Accounts expire, hardware does not Provider changes, lapsed billing and closed services are a bigger long-term risk than intrusion. ### Succession has to be designed Somebody must be able to reach these records later, through a defined route rather than a guessed password. ### Ownership is the point Records that matter across generations should not sit inside somebody else's platform terms. The succession checklist ## Get the wealth record in order. Start with what already exists. The aim is one protected place for the records that prove ownership and direct what happens next. Your wealth inventory ### Six areas most families already have. Use this as a first-pass checklist before deciding which Firevault product fits. **Ownership → Future → Property → Investments → Digital → Instructions** What is owned ### Ownership - ✓ Asset schedules - ✓ Company shareholdings - ✓ Valuables and collections - ✓ Insurance evidence - ✓ Loan and liability records What happens next ### Estate and trusts - ✓ Signed will - ✓ Trust deeds - ✓ Power of attorney - ✓ Letters of wishes - ✓ Executor details The property ### Property - ✓ Title deeds - ✓ Mortgage documents - ✓ Leases - ✓ Valuations - ✓ Land registry evidence The portfolio ### Investments - ✓ Statements and holdings - ✓ Pension records - ✓ Adviser correspondence - ✓ Tax evidence - ✓ Historic contract notes Digital holdings ### Digital assets - ✓ Holdings records - ✓ Recovery information - ✓ Custody arrangements - ✓ Platform evidence - ✓ Ownership proof How to act ### Instructions - ✓ Executor pack - ✓ Adviser contacts - ✓ Access instructions - ✓ Funeral and personal wishes - ✓ Family letter The Firevault difference ## Wealth records do not need to stay online. Keep day-to-day banking and correspondence where it is convenient. Firevault is for the evidence that proves ownership and the instructions that direct succession. Everyday and connected ### Keep convenience where it helps. Online platforms suit current banking, trading and everyday administration. - • Current account activity - • Live trading platforms - • Routine correspondence - • Everyday tax administration - • Active adviser exchanges Important and offline ### Give the estate a different state. Selected records can be available when required without remaining permanently reachable. - ✓ Signed wills and trust deeds - ✓ Title deeds and ownership evidence - ✓ Asset schedules - ✓ Digital asset recovery records - ✓ Executor instructions **Online estate planning tools keep succession material connected. Firevault gives it somewhere else to live.**Online when you need it. Offline when you do not. Protect it now. Find it later. ## Make sure the right person can act at the right time. Succession planning needs clear ownership today, controlled sharing when an adviser needs a document, and a planned route later. VERIFIED OWNER FAMILY MEMBER SOLICITOR OR TRUSTEE VAULT BUDDY The owner controls everyday access. Selected files can be shared without exposing the whole vault. Vault Buddy exists for succession, not routine shared access. No family master password ### Ownership, sharing and succession are different things. Firevault separates them so protecting wealth today does not make it unreachable tomorrow. **One vault per user**Everyday access stays with the verified owner rather than a shared family login. **Share a document when needed**Give a solicitor, trustee or family member controlled access to selected records. **Choose your Vault Buddy**A nominated succession route so the estate record is available when the family needs it. This is not only about inheritance ## Useful whenever wealth changes hands. Structuring, gifting, selling and planning all depend on having the evidence together and current. Estate planning ### Give advisers a clear picture. Asset schedules and documents in one protected place. **Planning** Selling an asset ### Prove ownership quickly. Deeds, valuations and evidence retrieved without a search. **Transaction** Trust administration ### Support trustees. Deeds, correspondence and instructions available to the right people. **Trusts** Digital holdings ### Protect recovery information. Custody records held offline rather than in an inbox. **Digital wealth** Loss of capacity ### Enable attorneys to act. Power of attorney and instructions retrievable when required. **Continuity** Bereavement ### Reduce burden on family. The executor pack exists before anybody needs it. **Succession** Evidence and guidance ## Long-term digital preservation guidance points to owned, separated copies. Archival and national guidance both treat provider dependency and single-copy storage as the main causes of permanent loss. [The National Archives Digital preservation guidance stresses managing storage, formats and custody actively rather than relying on a single service.

[Why Offline Secure Storage](/why-oss) ### Vault On-demand access to a digital safe deposit box for family archives, property records and larger media collections. [Explore Vault](/vault) ### LUV A low use vault for wills, deeds and the documents that matter most, reached on a nominated access day. [Explore LUV](/luv) ### Storage Scalable offline capacity from 20TB upwards, designed with the solutions team around your requirement. [Explore Storage](/storage) Why Firevault ## Planning first. Physical protection underneath. A family should not need technical expertise to keep an estate record safe and findable. **01** ### Physical storage Offline Secure Storage instances are held on dedicated physical hard drives, not in S3 cloud buckets, shared storage pools or multi-tenant infrastructure. Your selected data is assigned to real hardware, with dedicated RAID 1 drives providing resilience. **02** ### Physical ownership Each Offline Secure Storage instance is allocated to a specific customer, with dedicated physical capacity and clearly defined ownership. Your data is not pooled, commingled or held within a shared storage estate. **03** ### Physical control Access begins outside the normal network path. An authorised out-of-band command, such as SMS, controls the physical Layer 1 connection to your #OSS instance. When access is not required, that network path is physically disconnected. **04** ### Physical security Your #OSS hardware is housed in carefully selected, professionally managed data centres with layered physical security, resilient power and environmental controls. Access is tightly controlled using three-factor authentication, including biometric identification, supported by 24/7 monitoring, restricted access zones and a complete audit trail. Firevault Bunkers provide jurisdictional physical resilience across our international infrastructure. Questions families ask ## Before you move estate records offline. The goal is a clearer succession plan, not simply buying storage. Is this a will-writing service? No. Firevault protects and preserves the documents your solicitor prepares. It does not provide legal advice. Can our solicitor be given access? What is Vault Buddy? Are digital assets supported? Which product should we choose? Protect wealth across generations ## Start with the records that prove what is owned and the instructions that direct what happens next. Offline Secure Storage from Firevault. Online when you need it. Offline when you do not. [Protect your family's wealth](#choose) [Talk to Firevault](/contact)
