Successor Trustee Portal

Prepare the people you've chosen — before they're needed.

Why this matters

Your successor trustee will step in to manage your estate during a crisis — often with little notice and under significant emotional stress. LegaciVault's onboarding portal gives them a structured, private briefing so they know exactly what to do, where everything is, and who to call. The best time to prepare them is now, not during an emergency.

Named Trustees

No successor trustees designated yet

Designate a primary and backup successor trustee. They'll receive an invitation to complete a structured onboarding briefing through their own private portal.
