Someone you trust,
and a sealed envelope.

Two arrangements,

for two different days.

Help while you're here

A spouse or partner shares the whole pouch with you — not one shelf at a time. Either of you can add or update a record, every change is ledgered, and removing someone stops their access immediately.“Gemma handles the utilities, I handle the money — either of us can find anything, because it’s one shared pouch.”

The handover envelope

A sealed copy of what matters — chosen record by record — addressed to a named person, that opens only when the conditions you set are met. Until that day it stays sealed. To them, to us, to everyone.While your co-owner can still sign in, this stays sealed — they already hold everything. The envelope is for the day neither of you can.“For my sister, if needed. Fourteen records. The will, the accounts, the letters.”

How an envelope opens,

slowly and on purpose.

Nothing here is a panic button. Every step is deliberate, visible, and reversible right up to the last.

Conditions, fixed and clear

Three conditions, not a free choice of words: a quiet period you set between 14 and 365 days, a written request from your named person once that period has passed, and a no-objection delay of 7 to 90 days before the envelope opens. One named person per envelope. You choose the exact numbers on an ordinary afternoon, not in a crisis. At the fastest the floors allow, opening takes about 21 days end to end; with the default settings, about 74. This is for the long tail, not the first fortnight — funeral wishes and urgent contacts must live somewhere else.

The quiet knock

Before the quiet period completes, we try to reach you — email, then again, then the wait you chose. Answer once and the clock resets. No one is told you were asked.

To the named person only

The envelope unseals for the person you named, showing only the records you put inside. Everything else in your pouch stays sealed, exactly as it was.

What handover does,

and what it never will.

It does

• ·Hands over the practical picture — accounts, contacts, instructions, the sentence of context.
• ·Works record by record — your sister gets the will and the accounts; not your email, not your diary.
• ·Waits indefinitely — sealed for years costs nothing and bothers no one.
• ·Changes any Sunday — reseal, rename, rewrite the conditions whenever you like.

It never

• ×Replaces your will — an envelope is a practical handover, not a legal document. Keep the will; put its location inside.
• ×Opens for anyone with a sad story — conditions are conditions. No exceptions desk, no manager to ask for.
• ×Lets us peek — we hold a sealed box. We cannot open it for the police, for a court's asking, or for you, without the keys you control.
