Sharing your login credentials directly is not recommended, even with a trusted family member, since it can compromise the security of your sensitive personal and estate planning information. If a family member needs access after your death, there are usually more appropriate ways to plan for that.
General information
- Sharing credentials with anyone increases the risk of unauthorized access or changes to your documents.
- Plans for a family member to access your documents after death are usually handled through your estate plan itself, not shared logins.
- Storing your login somewhere secure, like a password manager, is generally safer than sharing it directly.
Service steps to consider
- Avoid sharing your account login directly with anyone.
- Store your original signed documents somewhere your executor or family can find them.
- Contact support if you have questions about appropriate ways to plan for after-death access.
Quick check
- Have I avoided sharing my login credentials?
- Do my family members know where my original signed documents are stored?
How Complete Wills can help
Complete Wills' account security is built to protect exactly this kind of sensitive information. Rather than sharing login credentials, most customers plan for after-death access by making sure their executor or family knows where original signed documents are physically stored, which keeps your account secure while still ensuring your wishes are found when needed.
Important limits
- Complete Wills cannot control what happens if account credentials are shared or compromised.
