When it comes to wills and inheritance, security and effective information management are essential. A comprehensive will ensures that all of a testator’s assets at the time of death are automatically included in the estate, with no need for constant updates. However, this flexibility raises a challenge: how can heirs and executors accurately identify the deceased’s full estate?

To solve this, EasyWill has integrated blockchain technology into its EasyWill Lifetime service offering clients a secure, updatable digital archive accessible only when needed.

What Is Blockchain and Why Is It So Secure?

Blockchain is a distributed digital ledger that allows information to be stored immutably, privately, and securely. Unlike a traditional database, blockchain records cannot be altered, deleted, or hacked, as they are distributed across multiple servers worldwide.

You can think of blockchain as an eternal digital vault where data is stored permanently and accessible only to those with the proper access keys.

Two key benefits:

1. Absolute privacy → The testator’s sensitive data is never accessible to EasyWill operators or third parties
2. Long-term accessibility → Heirs can retrieve this data even 100 years from now, without the risk of it being lost

Note: Blockchain does not replace legal registration of the will—it simply offers a secure storage system for supporting information that facilitates succession.

For example, a testator may wish to keep certain inheritance details confidential until after death. With blockchain, these can be stored securely and accessed only by designated heirs.

The Problem of Managing Assets Without a Secure Archive

A comprehensive will includes all of a person’s assets without listing them individually. This approach offers key benefits:

• No need for constant updates → Even if assets are sold or acquired, the will remains valid
• Ensures nothing is left out → All assets are inherited according to the testator’s wishes

However, executors and heirs may not know exactly which assets are included. A forgotten bank account, recently purchased property, or undisclosed investment may complicate distribution.

The Solution: EasyWill Lifetime

EasyWill developed EasyWill Lifetime to solve this issue, allowing clients to maintain an up-to-date, secure registry of their assets—accessible only at the appropriate time.

How it works:

1. Secure, restricted access → Clients can update their profile at any time, adding or removing assets without altering the will
2. Always up-to-date → New purchases (properties, bank accounts, investments) can be added easily
3. Blockchain encryption → All data is securely stored and inaccessible to third parties

Why does this matter?

When it’s time to execute the will, the executor can access this archive, identify the full estate, and provide heirs with clear, up-to-date instructions.

Benefits of Digital Registration

In addition to blockchain-level security, the EasyWill platform saves clients time and money through a fully digital process:

1. Online asset management → No need for in-person updates
2. No lost information → Even if banks or addresses change, data remains intact
3. Total confidentiality → Only authorised heirs can access the archive

Blockchain ensures that data cannot be edited or erased—eliminating the risk of essential information being lost or altered over time.

An Innovation That Ensures Continuity and Security

Without an updated archive, asset distribution may involve lengthy investigations, bureaucratic delays, or even the loss of undeclared assets. With EasyWill Lifetime:

• Heirs can easily identify the entire estate → No forgotten or misallocated assets
• No need to constantly update the will → The digital archive adapts to changes without altering the legal document
• Guaranteed access → Heirs can retrieve records even decades later
