What is the difference between a Trusted Appointee and an Expert?

Question
What is the difference between a Trusted Appointee and an Expert?
Answer
  • Trusted Appointee: A family member or friend you want to access your files (up to 5 people). Their role is personal and emotional — they receive your legacy and memories.

  • Expert: A professional (lawyer, notary, advisor) who can upload and manage documents (up to 3). Their role is practical — ensuring legal, tax, and business files are up to date.

This combination covers both personal inheritance and professional continuity.

Answer

To maximize value:

  • Complete your profile and designate Trusted Appointees.

  • Organize files into clear folders (legal, financial, funeral wishes, memories).

  • Upload proactively: wills, insurance, ID, property deeds, crypto wallets.

  • Leave messages: write personal notes or upload videos for family.

  • Notify appointees that your account exists, so they know where to look.

This ensures your account becomes a single source of truth for everything important.

Can Life After Me prevent financial loss from forgotten accounts or crypto?

Question
Can Life After Me prevent financial loss from forgotten accounts or crypto?
Answer

Yes. Without preparation, families often lose access to:

  • Bank accounts with unknown balances

  • Life insurance policies that go unclaimed

  • Crypto wallets without recovery keys

  • Tax or debt obligations that create surprises

Life After Me centralizes these details, preventing costly mistakes and ensuring heirs can quickly access or settle accounts.

What happens if my family needs access after my death?

Question
What happens if my family needs access after my death?
Answer

Your Trusted Appointee uploads a death certificate. We verify it with the municipality (for NL) or relevant authority. Once validated, only the information you marked “accessible after death” becomes available. To prevent abuse, all appointees receive notifications, and you can revoke access at any time before death.
