Digital estate planning
When someone dies, their family spends weeks trying to get into their accounts.
In one 90-minute session, we help you set up what happens to your photos, email and accounts, and give your family a clear, written plan.
- A real person on a video call
- We never see your passwords
- Available in the US
The gap in most estate plans
Your will covers the house. It doesn't cover the photos.
Without a plan
- Weeks on hold with platform support
- Locked out of email, photos and cloud storage
- Decades of photos lost when an account is closed
- No record of what the person actually wanted
After your session
- Facebook, Google and Apple's own legacy settings in place
- A password manager your executor can open after a safe waiting period
- Your wishes written down for every account
- A step-by-step guide for your family
How it works
One conversation. Nothing for your family to untangle later.
-
Book a time
Choose just you, or you and your partner. Pick a time and tell us your wishes in a short form.
-
Your 90-minute session
On a video call, we walk you through each setting on your own phone and computer. You stay in control the whole time.
-
Your written plan
Within two days you get your Digital Legacy Plan, ready to keep with your will or send to your attorney.
-
Keep it current
An optional yearly review keeps it up to date, and includes help for your family when the time comes.
What's included
What we set up with you
Each platform has its own legacy setting. We help you turn on every one of them.
A Legacy Contact who can look after your profile and download your photos.
What your family gets
The person you choose can manage your memorialized profile, pin a tribute post, update your profile photo and, if you allow it, download a copy of your photos and posts. They can’t read your private messages.
Inactive Account Manager, so Gmail, Photos and Drive pass to the person you choose.
What your family gets
If your account goes unused for the time you pick, Google emails the people you named and gives them a link to download the data you chose to share, such as Gmail, Photos and Drive.
Apple
A Legacy Contact for iCloud Photos, Messages and Notes.
What your family gets
Your Legacy Contact gets an access key. With it and a death certificate, Apple lets them download your iCloud photos, messages, notes and files.
Everything else
A password manager you own, with emergency access for your executor after a waiting period you can stop.
What your family gets
Your executor can request access to your vault. After the waiting period you set, they can open it and reach every other account. If you’re still here, you simply decline.
What your family receives
Your Digital Legacy Plan
A clear document for your family, written from your session. It holds no passwords, so it's safe to keep with your will.
- Who your executor is, and a backup
- Every account, and what you want done with it
- Step-by-step instructions your family can follow
- A copy for your attorney, if you'd like
1. Get several copies of the death certificate.
2. Request emergency access in Bitwarden.
3. Watch for Google's download email. You'll have 3 months to download.
Privacy & safety
We never see your passwords. We never hold your files.
You type every password
We guide; you click. Calls are never recorded.
The platforms do the handoff
Your family's access comes from Facebook, Google and Apple's own settings.
A wait you can stop
Your executor's emergency access has a waiting period. If you're still here, you say no.
Nothing to steal
We don't store your account data, so there's nothing of yours to breach.

Who you'll work with
You'll talk to me, not a chatbot
"For our first fifty clients, I personally run every session, and every call with a family after a death."
Greg Underhill, founder
Why "Heirwright"? A wright is a maker, like a shipwright or a playwright. We build the plan your heirs will need.
Estate attorney?
Refer clients, or include a session in your estate planning packages. Their plan can go straight into your file.
Questions
Questions people ask
Do you ever see my passwords?
No. You type them yourself, and we ask you to pause screen sharing while you do. They never go in your plan, and we never record calls.
I'm not good with technology. Is this for me?
Yes, that's exactly who it's for. We go one step at a time, at your pace, and a family member is welcome to join the call.
What do I need for the session?
Your phone and computer, signed in to Facebook, Google and Apple, and your executor's email address. We send a short checklist when you book.
What happens if I stop the yearly review?
Everything keeps working. Your plan is with you and your will, and the settings live on Facebook, Google, Apple and your password manager.
What if Heirwright closes one day?
Nothing breaks. We don't hold anything your family needs. It's all in your plan and your own accounts.
Is this legal advice?
No. We handle the practical, digital side and work alongside your attorney and your will.
How do you say "Heirwright"?
Like "air-right." It's spelled heir, as in the people who inherit, and wright, as in playwright.
