How it works

Three gentle steps, then peace of mind.

1

Gather, gently

Start with your wishes, the easiest place to begin. Add people, documents, accounts and a few words at your own pace.

2

Choose who gets what

Every item has a plain-language setting: just for you, funeral wishes, or estate and authority. You decide who receives each one.

3

Rest easy

Nothing is ever released by a machine. A real person reviews the death certificate and proof of authority before anything is shared.

Useful today, not just someday

Share it with your partner while you're both here.

Gaia Vault isn't a drawer you fill and forget. Invite the person you trust most to co-view the things you choose: the will's location, the insurance details, the account list. Useful every day, and priceless on the hard ones.

  • Invite your partner in two clicks
  • Choose exactly which items they can see
  • We nudge you both when things go stale

The questions people actually ask

Someone close to you notifies us and uploads a death certificate. A member of our team reviews it carefully. Only after approval are your funeral wishes shared with your authorised funeral director, and estate information waits until legal authority is proven.

In normal operation, no. Strict database rules mean only you can reach your vault. We are honest, though: this is not a zero-knowledge system, and the items you mark for release are deliberately recoverable by our approved, human-reviewed release process. That is what makes release possible.

You, and anyone you deliberately share with while you're alive. Nominees see nothing until a claim is reviewed and approved, and then only exactly what you assigned to them.

Yes. The free tier stays free, and the paid plan can be cancelled from your billing page in two clicks. Your plan runs to the end of the period you've paid for.

Gaia Vault encrypts your information at rest. The "release set" you designate for after death is not zero-knowledge. We're transparent about exactly what that means in how we keep your information safe below. If you need to notify us of a death, please contact us any time.

Plain language, no overclaiming

How we keep your information safe

You're trusting us with some of the most personal information you have. Here's exactly how we protect it, and just as importantly, what we can and can't do. We'd rather be honest than impressive.

AES-256 encryption · MFA available · Australian data residency

Your information is encrypted

Everything you save is encrypted (AES-256-GCM) before it's stored. In everyday use, only you can see your vault, protected by your login, optional two-step verification, and strict access rules in our database.

We're honest: this isn't "zero-knowledge"

Some services claim they can never see your data. We don't make that claim, because it wouldn't be true here, and being able to release your wishes after you're gone depends on it. Information you mark for release after death is encrypted in a way that an approved, human-reviewed process can unlock for the right person. We never call this end-to-end or zero-knowledge.

What happens when someone dies

Nothing is released by a computer. Ever. The path is always:

  1. Someone close submits a notification and uploads a death certificate and proof of their authority.
  2. A real member of our team reviews it carefully. They can see the documents; the person notifying can see none of your vault.
  3. Only after approval is anything shared. Funeral wishes can go to your authorised funeral director soon after approval. Financial and estate information waits until proof of legal authority (like a grant of probate) is confirmed.
  4. The people you chose receive secure, time-limited access to exactly what you left them, and nothing else. Every release is logged permanently.

The things we deliberately don't do yet

We won't store your banking passwords yet, and we don't plug into government death registries. These need legal and security sign-off first, and we'd rather wait than get them wrong. You'll see them marked "coming soon."

Audit & transparency

We keep a permanent, tamper-evident log of sensitive actions: who accessed what, and every release. We log actions, never the contents of your vault.

Certifications

Independent security review and certifications are part of our pre-launch checklist. This section will list them as they're completed.

For you, and for them

The kindest thing you'll do for your family takes ten quiet minutes.

Begin with one wish. That's enough for today.
