A Safety Net for Your Most Important Messages
Designate a trusted heir who can publish your messages if you’re ever unavailable—without accessing your private notes or recipients.
How It Works
Trusted Heir is built for peace of mind. If you become inactive and don’t respond to verification emails, your heir can publish what you already wrote—so your family still receives what matters.
Your privacy stays intact
Your trusted heir is a messenger—not a reader. They cannot browse your notes, see who you wrote to, or access anything you didn’t intend. Their role is limited to publishing messages you already created.
Choose a Trusted Heir
Designate someone you trust—a spouse, adult child, sibling, or close friend—to act only if needed.
Inactivity-Based Trigger
Heir access activates only if you’re inactive for an extended period and don’t respond to verification checks.
Publish, Not Read
Your heir can publish messages—but cannot read your private notes or see who recipients are.
Multiple Verification Emails
Before anything activates, we send multiple verification emails to your account and provide time to respond.
You Can Override Anytime
If you’re temporarily away, you can log in and cancel or reset the process immediately.
Transparent Audit Trail
Every heir action is logged and timestamped. Your family will know it was published by your heir.
Set it once. Forget about it.
Choose your trusted heir and move forward knowing your most important messages are protected.
When This Feature Matters Most
Messages for Your Children’s Milestones
You record messages for your daughter’s major life moments—graduations, wedding day, becoming a parent. You schedule them years in advance, knowing they should be delivered even if you’re no longer around.
The Impact: Your daughter receives your words exactly as you intended—no matter what happens.
What to Do After I’m Gone
You create private written and video messages explaining what to do after you pass away—who to contact first, how to handle immediate decisions, and what matters most to you.
The Impact: Your family isn’t left guessing during an already difficult time.
Where the Important Documents Are
You leave clear instructions about where to find your will, trust, insurance information, and other critical documents. You want your family to access them quickly, without confusion or delays.
The Impact: Your family knows exactly where to look, without passwords being shared or information being exposed.
Personal Messages for Each Family Member
You write or record private messages for each family member—things you want them to hear, lessons you’ve learned, gratitude you want expressed—meant only for them.
The Impact: Each person receives a message meant specifically for them, in your own words.
Why This Is Different
Why This Matters
Life isn’t perfectly predictable. Sometimes accounts get locked, devices are lost, or access becomes complicated at the worst possible time. Trusted Heir exists so your family isn’t left guessing—or left without the messages you intentionally prepared.
Your heir doesn’t need your password. They don’t need access to your private content. They only ensure delivery—so the guidance you wrote arrives when your family needs it.
Think of it this way
You saved a private note and video with key instructions and context. If you’re unreachable, your trusted heir can publish a brief announcement to the right people pointing them to the information—so your family has clarity fast.
That’s peace of mind—by design.
This is rare on modern platforms because it prioritizes your family over engagement.FamilyNotes.io is built for the moments that actually matter.
