Self-employed & contractors
You bought crypto over the years. You don't trade it. You want your family to actually find it if you can't tell them where it is.
Crypto Dead Man's Switch
The Quiet Inheritance for Your Crypto
If something happens to you, your heirs get access to your wallets and seed phrases — silently, automatically, with no technical setup on their side.

Who it's for
Built for people, not engineers
If you hold crypto but you're not the kind of person who reads documentation for fun, this is for you.
Business owners
Treasury or personal holdings. You need a private continuity plan that doesn't go through a lawyer or a 24-word phrase under the mattress.
Family-asset holders
Property, savings, and crypto. You want one quiet place that hands the right things to the right people at the right time.
How it works
Three steps. Then it's quiet.
You set it up once. We check on you. If we stop hearing back, your heirs get access — exactly the way you set it up.
STEP 01
Store what your heirs need
Wallet seed phrases, exchange logins, hardware-wallet PINs — encrypted on your device before they reach us. We store sealed envelopes; we never see what's inside.
STEP 02
We check in, quietly
A short message every month (or however often you like). One click confirms you're around. No notifications, no anxiety, no spam.
STEP 03
If you stop responding, your heirs get access
After your chosen grace period, the people you named receive what you saved for them. Not before. Not by accident. Not for any other reason.
What's different
What makes it different
You choose how locked it stays
Three encryption modes: we handle the keys, your browser handles the keys, or you bring your own already-encrypted file. Pick what matches the trust level.
A Dead Man's Switch that just works
Passive check-ins. Configurable rules. A grace period you control. Vacation mode for when you're off-grid on purpose.
Heirs get access quietly
No public probate. No third-party lawyer. No exchange knowing your business. Just the people you chose, getting what you wanted them to have.

FAQ
What people ask before signing up
- What if I lose my password?
- We can help you back in. Use the email address you signed up with — we send you a recovery code, you confirm, you're back. (One mode is set up so even we can't help you back in. If you choose it, treat the key like the only copy of a winning lottery ticket: write it down, put it somewhere safe, and tell at least one person where it is.)
- Could a hacker see my crypto?
- No. Your files are encrypted with AES-256-GCM — the same encryption banks and the US military use for top-secret data, and one of the few algorithms considered safe even against future quantum-computer attacks. The encrypted files sit in isolated storage that's only opened when one of your own rules fires for a verified heir. Nothing is ever stored in plaintext, and your private keys themselves never reach us.
- What if I'm just on vacation and miss a check-in?
- Vacation mode pauses everything for as long as you set. You'll also get reminder emails for 72 hours of grace before anything fires — and a one-click cancel link in every one.
- Is this regulated?
- DigitalEstate operates Hush Vault under standard data-protection regulation (GDPR-aligned). We're not custodians of your crypto — we never hold private keys directly.
- What about my heirs — do they need to be technical?
- No. They get a personal email with a link. They sign in, accept access, download what you left them. We walk them through it.
- Can I change my mind?
- Anytime. Update your heirs, change your encryption mode, pause check-ins, or close your account entirely. Closing the account permanently deletes everything we hold.
