The benefits of thinking ahead
-
Bequeath lets you decide what is shared, with whom, and when. By actively authoring your life, you can shape what your loved ones will one day receive and understand.
-
By storing your memories, messages, and essential documents in a permission-based vault, you can be confident that nothing important will be lost and your loved ones won’t be left with confusion or unanswered questions.
-
Each upload: letters, videos, instructions, or letters becomes part of your living story. Bequeath gives you the ability to curate how you are remembered, in your own words and on your own terms.
-
Bequeath bridges the gap between past and present, between what was spoken and what was left unsaid. Your loved ones receive messages that can heal, clarify, celebrate, and sometimes reconcile; after you’re gone.
-
Bequeath delivers documents, account details, instructions, and funeral wishes in a timely and structured way, so your family aren’t left scrambling during an already difficult time.

‘The unexamined life is not worth living.’ — Plato.
Adding to your vault naturally encourages you to think about your life, values, relationships, and priorities. Bequeath is a tool for introspection, not just storage.
What makes
Bequeath different?
Bequeath empowers people to shape and share their legacy via a secure, digital vault - bridging administration with personal memories. Built to stand apart, we pair simple online storage with dynamic social stories - connecting each uploaded item to the chosen recipients who will ultimately receive it upon the sharer’s passing.
The words to heal a relationship finally spoken, the surprise video message for a daughter's wedding, the unexpected letter to encourage a son on his birthday from his late father - these are all treasures that are revealed at specific dates after the person who has left them has passed.
Digital Vault
Your memories, documents and information are locked behind world-class encryption. Only you and those you choose have access to what you store.
Choose exactly who sees each item in your vault. When you pass away, those nominated loved ones receive the pieces you’ve chosen for them.
Partitioned Access
Decide when each item should be opened. Schedule messages and documents to be revealed at a specific time, whether you’re still here or have already passed on.
Timely Access
Life evolves. Bequeath gently reminds you to keep your vault updated so your loved ones always have the most accurate and meaningful information.
Periodic Reminders
Create personalised messages that arrive on meaningful days (birthdays, anniversaries, or special milestones) that are delivered for up to 360 days after you’ve passed.
360 Messages
Share something that’s meant to be opened only when a major life moment happens. Think of the birth of a child or a wedding of someone close - chosen from a list of special events that’s not restricted to 360 days.
Moment Messages
Write unique messages for each birthday or other recurring events. Each year, your loved one will receive a notification letting them know you’ve left a message - just as if you were right there beside them.
Heartbeat Messages
Record messages, upload videos, write notes, and store important documents in one secure digital space that safely passes your legacy on.
Digital First
When you give someone access to part of your vault, they’re encouraged to create their own. Together on Bequeath, we’re helping families and friends build connected legacies together.
Socially Connected
Store a digital copy of your will or simply tell your loved ones where the physical one is kept. When digital wills become legal, switching will be effortless.
