What is a digital executor?

A digital executor is a trusted person or system that manages your online accounts, domains, subscriptions, and digital assets after you die or become incapacitated. Unlike a will, a digital executor has the tools to actually execute transfers — not just document them.

How does a dead man switch work for digital accounts?

A dead man switch for digital accounts monitors your check-in activity. If you miss a scheduled check-in, warning emails are sent at 7, 3, and 1 days before the trigger fires. Once triggered, access is released to your trusted contacts with legal verification, enabling account handover without court orders.

Q: What happens to online accounts when someone dies?

Without a digital executor plan, online accounts typically become inaccessible after death — even with a death certificate, most platforms cannot bypass MFA or legal ownership requirements. Subscriptions continue billing, photos remain locked, and business infrastructure goes dark.

Succede is your digital executor — a dead man's switch and encrypted vault for the accounts no one else can access when you're gone. Plan for what happens to your online accounts when you die, and make sure the people you trust can actually execute your wishes.

Why Existing Tools Fail

They store passwords.
We orchestrate continuity.

Password managers, estate planning docs, and crypto solutions all stop at storage. None handle what happens to online accounts when someone dies — or automatically trigger business continuity handover for solo founders.

Password Managers

Emergency access exists for you. Post-mortem automation? They intentionally avoid it — the liability is too complex. 1Password, Bitwarden, LastPass: none of them transfer your AWS account. They just hand over a list.

Estate Planning Tools

"Upload your instructions." Document-first, not infrastructure-first. No API connections. No automated transfers. A PDF that says "the password is in my vault" is not a plan — it's a scavenger hunt during grief.

Crypto Solutions

Multi-sig wallets handle inheritance for on-chain assets. Nothing for your Stripe account, your domains, your GitHub org, your cloud infrastructure. Crypto inheritance solves 5% of the problem.

"The gap isn't storage. It's execution."

A court order doesn't bypass multi-factor authentication. A will doesn't unlock AWS. A death certificate doesn't transfer your Stripe account, recover your domains, or keep your business running. Legal authority was designed for physical assets. Your digital life needs something else.

How Succede Works

Digital executor logic — not just storage.

Encrypted Instructions

Store credentials, transfer protocols, and continuity plans in a zero-knowledge encrypted vault. Role-based access for executors, lawyers, spouses, and business partners.

Legal Verification Triggers

Access is released only after verified events: death certificates, inactivity proof, or multi-party confirmation. Not a timer. A legal workflow engine.

Automated Execution

When verified: transfer domain ownership, freeze ad spend, export backups, rotate credentials, notify stakeholders. API-connected where possible. Automated where it matters.

Who This Is For

Two problems. One infrastructure.

For Families

50–100+ accounts.
Subscriptions still billing.
Photos locked in the cloud.

When someone dies, their digital life doesn't stop. It just becomes everyone else's problem — on top of grief.

Email accounts with decades of history, locked behind MFA
iCloud, Google Photos — irreplaceable memories behind a fingerprint
Netflix, Spotify, streaming services billing every month
Bank alerts, insurance portals, medical records — no one can get in

We make sure your people can access what matters — without a support ticket or a court order.

For Founders

Your business
shouldn't die
with you.

You are the single point of failure for your company. One accident, and your team can't push code, process payments, or keep the lights on.

Domains registered in your name — expired, pointing nowhere
AWS root account behind your personal MFA
Stripe, GitHub, Cloudflare — all locked to your email
No one else holds the keys to your production infrastructure

Automated business continuity handover to the people you trust. Domains, Stripe, AWS, GitHub — continuity on your terms.

The world adapted legally
to houses, cars, and bank accounts.

It hasn't caught up to APIs, domains, cloud systems, or SaaS infrastructure. That's what Succede is building: the missing execution layer for digital succession.

Digital estate planning — not a death app, a continuity protocol.
