Use Cases/Expats/Family access

If your family ever has to act for you, across a border

Prepare the packet they would need: documents, contacts, instructions. Invite them today, encrypted until the moment it matters. Delivered only when your condition fires.

Prepared today. Delivered only if needed.

Store

Everything, both countries. Any file type, as much as your plan holds.

Update

One current copy. Replace the expired permit, the old policy, the stale account list in seconds.

Deliver

On your condition. A date, your command, a silence you define, or one trusted person's confirmation.

Why families get stuck

Sooner or later, someone back home may have to step into your life here without you to guide them: which accounts exist, where the documents are, who to call first, in a country they have never dealt with. The answers exist. They are scattered across your accounts, your folders, and your memory.

The people who get through it are not the ones with the most organized families. They are the ones who prepared a packet before anyone needed it.

What goes in the packet

Documents

Insurance policies, residence permit copies, passport scans, certificates with their translations. Any file type, as much as you need.

The map

Where your accounts are, in both countries. Who your employer, landlord, and doctor are. What to handle first.

Instructions

What you would tell them on the phone if you could. Written once, kept current, delivered only if needed.

They hold the key before they ever need it

1

You invite them today.

They create their own encryption key on their own device, guided in English, Spanish, or Russian. More languages are on the way.

2

You attach what they would need and set the trigger.

They see nothing. Vaulternal sees nothing. The files are encrypted on your device before they ever leave it.

3

When your condition fires, the delivery reaches them, and only them.

They unlock it with the key they already hold.

Prefer to hand over the key yourself? You can share it manually instead. The invitation just means nothing has to cross a border except an email.

What about the inactive account tools cloud drives offer

Google's Inactive Account Manager is the closest thing a cloud drive has, and if you use it, you are ahead of most people. It covers one condition, inactivity, with a minimum window of months. The contents stay readable by the provider. There is no per-person packet, no trusted-contact option, no manual release, and your recipient gets a folder dump, not a guided claim in English, Spanish, or Russian. Vaulternal exists for the gap between that and what your family would actually need.

This is a ten minute decision

Upload the packet, invite one person, set one trigger. You can refine it forever. The version that exists is the one that helps.
