High-net-worth families need more than Dropbox. Learn about secure vaults for storing passports, wills, trusts, and asset logs.

Why Secure Vaults Are Essential

What Is a Digital Vault?

A cloud-based, encrypted storage system with restricted access, multi-factor authentication, and audit logs.


Best Tools Available

Everplans (for estate planning)


DocuBank (for medical directives)


Digify (for financial documents)


Estate Planning Integration

Many vaults now integrate with family office software and allow limited-time third-party access for executors.


FAQ

Q1: Is Google Drive not enough?

A: For basic files maybe—but not for wills, passwords, or tax documents.


Q2: Can vaults be used internationally?

A: Yes, many offer region-specific servers for compliance.


User Comments

Editor’s Note

As families grow more global, their data must stay safe—yet accessible when needed most.
