How It Works

When you create a Will or legal document at LegalWills, you can designate up to 20 different Keyholders®. Your chosen Keyholders® will be given the trust and power to unlock specific information within your account such as health care directives, funeral wishes, final messages, uploaded files, Power of Attorney, or Last Will and Testament.

You can also implement security mechanisms to prevent premature access to these documents. The entire process of creating your Will and other legal documents at LegalWills is seamless and iterative, meaning you can continue to make changes until you're happy with the final product.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of messages can I create?

The content of your messages is entirely up to you. A message could be instructions to your Executor, communication of grateful feelings to someone who helped you during your lifetime, final words to your loved ones, sharing special moments that you will never forget, etc. This service is available for you to use exactly how you please, although you should keep in mind the reactions and feelings of the recipients.

The format of the message can be simple text, or you can attach files such as a document, photo, graphic, video, or audio. The MyMessages™ service will guide you through the process of creating these messages. Your messages will only be emailed to their intended recipients after you have passed away and after your designated Keyholder® unlocks the information (without ever seeing the contents of your messages).

Who can I send them to?

You can send messages to anybody with a valid email address. We do not currently support the delivery of messages using postal mail or courier services.

How will you ensure that they are not sent prematurely?

You will designate trusted Keyholders® who will be assigned a secure ID and password. At the appropriate time the Keyholder® will request the release of your messages. As soon as this request is received, we will automatically send a notification to your email address and you will be given an opportunity to block the release of these messages. If, after a period of time determined by you, we have received no order to block the distribution, then the messages will be sent.

It is important that you choose Keyholders® whom you trust. Although safeguards are in place to prevent the premature distribution of your messages, you should not expect any of your Keyholders® to request the release of your messages before the appropriate time.

What if a hacker gets into your system?

All of your information stored at ExpatLegalWills.com is safe and secure. Your information is so highly encrypted that nobody has access to this information other than yourself and your trusted Keyholders® using their randomly generated personal key. Even the owners and administrators of ExpatLegalWills.com are not able to view your messages due to the software design and encryption methods used.

All data passing from your computer to ExpatLegalWills.com is authenticated and encrypted using 256-bit "SSL encryption". This is the most advanced level of encryption available today, and it means that any information sent from your computer is scrambled in a way which makes it completely unintelligible if intercepted. When you are on a secure section within the web site, a padlock will appear on your web browser. This is your assurance that the encryption is in place and that you are communicating across a secure link.

Furthermore, ExpatLegalWills.com uses an industry standard high security streaming-encryption algorithm known as "RSA" to encrypt all of your information before it is stored online. To give you a feeling for the level of security provided by this encryption, it has been estimated that with the most efficient algorithms known to date, it would take a computer operating at 1 million instructions per second over 300 quintillion years (that's 3 with 20 zeros behind it!) to break the encryption. That's several trillion times longer than the age of the Earth.

Can my information get destroyed or lost?

All of our data is securely stored in a highly encrypted format on database servers. To protect against catastrophic data loss, daily backups are performed on each of our servers. Hence, if any one of our servers experienced technical difficulties, the data would not be at risk.

Furthermore, physical protection of our primary systems includes:

Fire detection and fire suppression systems with dry pipe pre-action sprinkler systems
N + 1 redundant power supplies, providing dual power feeds and backup batteries, water coolant systems, and generators
N + 1 redundant climate control, providing primary and backup chiller units, cooling towers, and water storage
Local network operations center (NOC) for monitoring all data center operations
24x7 monitoring and support of network connection and server availability
24x7 uniformed guard service with interior and exterior closed-circuit television surveillance
Electronic access at all data center entrances, including biometric hand scanners
Electronic key management systems and individually keyed cabinets

As you can see, we take the security and privacy of all of our member information very seriously.

How much does this service cost?

The MyMessages™ service allows you to create text messages, and to store them securely at ExpatLegalWills.com until it is time for them to be delivered to their recipients. Before then, you can add, modify, or delete messages at any time. You can also designate your own personal "Keyholders® ", who with their unique ID can release your private messages for delivery at the appropriate time.

You can purchase more storage space for your messages at the following rate:

1 GB: $5.00^USD

Does it matter where I live?

Services such as MyFuneral™, MyLifeLocker™, MyVault™, and MyMessages™ do not create legal documents and make no assumptions about your country of residence.

If you have any doubts about the legal standing of any documents in your jurisdiction, feel free to seek legal counsel in your area to have your documents reviewed.

How can I get more information?

There is a considerable amount of information included in the on-line help of the MyMessages™ service. This will answer most of the common questions regarding the steps included in creating your own messages.
