What should you put in your Digital Vault?

A digital vault is not about storing everything. It is about storing the right things. The things that matter. The things that bring clarity, comfort, and continuity to the people you care about.

At Crux Legacy, your digital vault is a safe and private space where your life is organised with intention. Knowing what to put inside can help you start calmly, without feeling overwhelmed. There is no checklist you must complete. There is only your story, built one meaningful piece at a time.

Start with what your loved ones may need

One of the main purposes of a digital vault is to reduce stress and confusion for your family. When important information is already organised and easy to find, you are offering a quiet but powerful form of care.

Essential documents to include:

• Identification documents
• Real estate and property records
• Insurance policies
• Financial and banking information
• Medical documents or instructions
• Emergency notes or guidance

These documents help your loved ones navigate practical matters with clarity and confidence, without needing to search or guess.

Add your Digital Assets

As explained in What Is a Digital Vault, digital assets are any online accounts or services you use in daily life. Recording them does not mean sharing passwords. It means giving awareness and context.

Common digital assets to document:

• Email accounts
• Online banking or investment platforms
• Cloud storage accounts
• Social media profiles
• Subscriptions and memberships
• Business tools or online services

Inside Crux, you can clearly name each asset and add notes explaining what it is and how it is used. This gives your nominees understanding without exposing sensitive access details.

Preserve memories that matter

Your digital vault is not only about information. It is also a place for emotion, connection, and memory. These are often the most meaningful parts of a legacy.

Meaningful memories to store

• Photos from trips, anniversaries, or family moments
• Videos with your voice or face
• Letters or personal messages
• Memories connected to milestones
• Everyday moments that reflect your life

You can choose to share each memory with one or multiple nominees, depending on who it is meant for.

Write from the heart using the Journal

The Journal is where your legacy becomes deeply human. It allows you to write thoughts, reflections, or messages in your own words, without pressure or structure.

Ideas for journal entries

• A note of love for a partner
• Advice for your children
• A story from your past
• Reflections on life
• Words of comfort or encouragement

Even a few lines can become something priceless to the person who reads them one day.

Use Time Capsules for Future Moments

Time Capsules allow your voice to arrive exactly when it matters most. They are messages scheduled for a specific date or recurring moment.

Time Capsule ideas

• Birthday messages
• Graduation wishes
• Anniversary notes
• Holiday greetings
• Messages for future milestones

These moments turn your legacy into something living, not static. They show care across time.

Organise by people, not just files

Crux Legacy creates a dedicated folder for each nominee you add. This helps you organise your vault around relationships, not just categories.

You might have:

• A folder for your partner with shared memories
• A folder for your children with guidance and notes
• A folder for a friend with travel photos
• A folder for a professional with important documents

The same file can be shared with more than one nominee, giving you flexibility without duplication.

You can add and update anytime

Your digital vault is not something you finish in one day. It grows with you.

You can:

• Add new documents over time
• Upload new memories
• Edit notes or journal entries
• Change what each nominee receives
• Remove or add nominees whenever needed

Your legacy evolves as your life does.

A Digital Vault built with care

What you put in your digital vault is a reflection of what you value. There is no perfect list. There is only intention.

Every document brings clarity.
Every memory brings comfort.
Every message is an act of love.

Crux Legacy gives you a safe, private, and human space to hold it all.
