Vellum, under the hood.
Vellum isn't another will-maker or digital safe. It's a lifelong family and estate platform that keeps everything a person owns, owes, controls and wishes in order, and turns into an executor operating system the moment it's needed.
// how it works
- Life and LegacyKeep accounts, documents, wishes, contacts and digital life organized and current.
- IncapacityRole-based partial release to a healthcare agent, financial agent or business successor.
- Estate ActivationA verified death triggers identity, authority and fraud checks, and the case opens.
- Settlement Command CenterAn executor and family workspace where every task is triaged and tracked to done.
// ai inside
A supervised workforce for the hardest weeks of a family's life.
Specialized AI agents handle intake, classification, readiness, institution letters, accounting and family communication. Hard walls apply: AI never decides inheritance, releases crypto, or approves final distributions.
- Agents for intake, settlement and accounting
- Human approval on anything consequential
- An immutable audit trail
// trust and security
- Zero-knowledge architecture: Vellum stores only ciphertext
- Shamir secret-sharing for key release
