The problem
Your parents' papers are in a drawer, a safe, their email and their memory.
If one of them dies or can no longer manage their affairs, you are the person who has to find everything.
Today you don't know what exists, where it is, or what has expired.
Papers that nobody finds become money that nobody claims. About A$2.7 billion from old bank accounts, shares and insurance policies is waiting to be claimed in Australia. Source: ASIC
What Legacy Locker does
Step 1
You photograph or upload each document.
Use your phone camera, or add PDFs, photos, Word and Excel files.
Step 2
Legacy Locker reads it and files it in the right drawer.
Wills, Super, Investments, Banking, Property, Insurance and so on. You don't type anything in.
Step 3
It lists the dates that matter.
For example: a super death benefit nomination that has expired, or car insurance due for renewal next month.
Step 4
You ask a question and it answers from the documents.
For example: “Who gets the super?” The answer shows the document it was read from.
How your documents are kept safe
These are wills, passports and bank statements. This is exactly where they go and who can open them.
Stored in Sydney
Your files and data are stored in Sydney, Australia.
Encrypted with your account's own key
Your files are encrypted with a key that belongs to your account alone.
Never sent to a public AI service
Your documents are never sent to a public AI service such as ChatGPT. They are read by a private AI that runs in Australia for Legacy Locker only. It does not keep your documents after reading them, and nobody outside Legacy Locker can see them.
A password alone is never enough
Every sign-in needs a second step: a code from an authenticator app, or Face ID, fingerprint or Windows Hello.
Every view, upload and deletion is recorded in an activity log that you can read.
