When life changes suddenly, families often struggle to find the information they need.

Bank accounts, passwords, legal documents, healthcare wishes, insurance policies, and even simple instructions can become difficult to locate during stressful moments.

Legacy Vault Kit helps keep everything together calmly, securely, and clearly — so your family knows what to do and where to look.

The Footprint Method™ — Five Steps

Start with step one. Everything else follows naturally.

  1. Step 01

    Gather

    Bring everything together. Record your personal identity, emergency information, key contacts, property, and assets. This is about identifying what matters most — without pressure.

  2. Step 02

    Organise

    Create calm from chaos. Organise your information into clear, logical sections — financial accounts, legal documents, insurance policies, and more. Small steps, one section at a time.

  3. Step 03

    Protect

    Secure and control everything. Your information is encrypted, secure, and under your complete control. You decide who sees what — and you can change this at any time.

  4. Step 04

    Share Guidance

    Open your vault to those you trust. Share your wishes, healthcare preferences, and instructions with family members or professionals. You control exactly who sees what and when.

  5. Step 05

    Preserve Memories

    Leave something that lasts. Record your stories, values, and messages for loved ones. This is the part that goes beyond paperwork — it truly makes a difference.
