How Vault12 Guard Helps You Manage Your Crypto Inheritance
Managing digital assets like cryptocurrencies can be complex, especially when it comes to inheritance—but it doesn’t have to be. Vault12 Guard ensures that your digital inheritance is securely managed, and that only the right people—your chosen Guardians—can approve your beneficiary’s access at the right time.
Implement Your Inheritance Plan
Vault12 encourages you to create a carefully considered inheritance plan that covers all of your digital assets. Once your inheritance plan is set, Vault12 Guard will help you manage access to these assets and ensure everything is handled as you intended.
A Comprehensive Digital Vault
Vault12 Guard isn’t just for backing up crypto wallets. It’s a comprehensive solution for backing up all types of digital assets and storing sensitive information:
- Seed phrases from any type of wallet and even private keys including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies. Vault12 Guard allows you to select from a pre-determined list of wallets or add your own.
- Non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
- Digitized copies of legal documents, medical records, or any other personal records.
- PINs and instructions for accessing devices and password managers.
Vault12 keeps everything safe and organized in one digital vault.
Backed up and Protected By Trusted Guardians
Your digital assets are protected by your most trusted people: your chosen Guardians, who can use Vault12 Guard for free.
In the event that you lose a device like your mobile phone that holds crypto wallets, Vault12 Guard offers you and your Guardians a straightforward process to restore your assets.
In the case of inheritance, your Guardians must approve the beneficiary’s request to access your Digital Vault.
