How It Works

When you create a Will or legal document at LegalWills, you can designate up to 20 different Keyholders®. Your chosen Keyholders® will be given the trust and power to unlock specific information within your account such as health care directives, funeral wishes, final messages, uploaded files, Power of Attorney, or Last Will and Testament.

You can also implement security mechanisms to prevent premature access to these documents. The entire process of creating your Will and other legal documents at LegalWills is seamless and iterative, meaning you can continue to make changes until you're happy with the final product.

Frequently Asked Questions

Any file that can be put onto your computer can be put into your Vault. This includes video, audio, documents, PDF's, spreadsheets, scans, jpeg files. Anything.
The MyVault™ service uses our proprietary Keyholder® mechanism to ensure that your information only gets to the right people at the right time, and not before. After you have placed content into your Vault, you will name trusted Keyholders® who have access to the content. Each Keyholder® will be given their own unique Keyholder® ID. When the time is right, your Keyholder® will request access to the content in your Vault. At this point, we will automatically send you a notification by email to give you an opportunity to block access to the content in your Vault. You also set up a time delay before the content is released, this can be expressed in hours, days or weeks. Once this time passes, your Keyholder® will be able to view the contents of your Vault.

Your choice of Keyholder® is important. We do have safeguards in place to protect your content, but we would expect you to select a trusted individual as your Keyholder®.
MyVault can be used together with our other premium services such as MyWill™, MyLivingWill™ and MyLifeLocker™. With the purchase of any premium service, you receive a one-year active account. You can then choose to extend the account beyond one year, either on a year-by-year basis or through a multi-year bundle.
Add 1 year: £11.95
Add 5 years: £29.95 (50% savings)
Add 10 years: £39.95 (70% savings)
Add 25 years: £79.95 (75% savings)
Lifetime: £129.95

If 20 Megabytes is not sufficient to store your key content, then you can expand the size of your Vault with a one time payment. You can add:

10 Mb: £4.95
50 Mb: £19.95
100 Mb: £34.95
No. Services like Dropbox, Apple iCloud and Google Drive are simply document repositories that allow you to mirror your hard drive. The only way you can grant posthumous access to these folders is by giving somebody your User ID and password. You have no idea whether somebody has accessed these files prematurely or even attempted to access your Dropbox or Google Drive.

MyVault™ is an estate planning service. We do not expect you to upload the contents of your hard drive. But rather, to curate important documents that you wish to pass on to your loved ones and family. It is best used together with MyWill™ and MyLifeLocker™.

The true value of MyVault™ is not the storage, but the proprietary Keyholder® mechanism that secures your privacy and controls access to your documents, even after you have passed away. With our Keyholder® service, you can grant access to different services to different people, and guard against premature access to your personal information.
Traditionally, people have talked about a Will, Lasting Power of Attorney and Advance Directives (Living Will) as being the complete estate plan. But this only really allows you to make the right appointments.

In your Will, you name your Executor. This person needs to gather up your assets, and contact significant people. MyLifeLocker™ makes this task much easier, by allowing you to document your assets, list key individuals, and document your account numbers and financial institutions. It ensures that none of your assets are missed.

MyMessages™ allows you to prepare messages to family and loved ones, to be distributed after you have passed away. Each message is personal and written for each recipient. Each recipient only receives the message that is intended for them.

MyVault™ allows you to store uploaded content. This service ensures that personal items that don't necessarily form part of your estate can still be passed onto friends and family. Your Vault can include audio, video, documents, spreadsheets, photographs or anything else meaningful to you.
Please take a look at our Security page for detailed information describing the steps we go through to protect your information.

Review of UK Online Will services – your guide to the best.

Before the advent of online Will writing services there were two general approaches to writing a Will. Going to a solicitor, or writing your own Will on a piece of paper. These two approaches were diametrically opposite. A solicitor would be able to provide you with legal advice, and potentially write custom clauses in your Will, but the service would cost you several hundreds of pounds.

The option of going to a solicitor was not available to everybody either because of a lack of time, or an unwillingness to pay high fees to what was perceived to be a simple instruction. So many people attempted to write their own Will starting with a blank sheet of paper, and in general terms explain how they would want their estate to be distributed. The common belief was that writing at least something on a piece of paper, was better than dying without a Will.
