Frequently Asked Questions

How does Inheritus work?

Inheritus is an all-in-one platform designed to simplify estate planning and estate administration. Our solution allows you to securely store and manage your critical documents, such as wills, trusts, and financial records. You can invite trusted family members, legal advisors, and financial professionals to access specific parts of your estate plan, ensuring a smooth process for everyone involved.

When an individual becomes incapacitated or passes away, our platform seamlessly transitions from planning and administration (via Legacy360™) to settlement (via Estate360™), helping executors and administrators manage and distribute assets efficiently.

Inheritus uses intelligent automation and AI-driven guidance to streamline tasks, providing step-by-step support throughout the process.

What is the difference between Legacy360 and Estate360, and how do they work together?

Legacy360™ is a tool that helps individuals actively plan and organize their estate during their lifetime. It allows users to compile and manage personal, financial, and legal information, ensuring everything is in order and accessible for trusted contacts. Legacy360™ focuses on proactive estate planning and organization.

Estate360™, on the other hand, is designed to assist executors or administrators with the practical management of an estate after the individual has passed away or become incapacitated. It provides tailored guidance, task lists, and document management features to streamline the probate process and distribute assets in line with the estate plan.

The two tools work in tandem: information entered in Legacy360™ automatically transfers to Estate360™ upon the individual’s death or incapacitation. This ensures a seamless transition, making it easier for executors to manage the estate efficiently without missing critical details.

Can I share my estate information with family members and advisors?

Absolutely. Our platform allows you to securely share selected information with family members, legal professionals, and financial advisors. You have full control over what information is shared and with whom, ensuring confidentiality and peace of mind.

Can I use Inheritus on my mobile phone, tablet, or laptop?

Yes, Inheritus is designed to be fully accessible across all your devices. Whether you’re using a mobile phone, tablet, or laptop, you can securely access and manage your estate planning and administration information from anywhere. Our platform is optimized for different screen sizes and provides a seamless experience, allowing you to store, update, and share important documents with trusted contacts no matter which device you’re using.

For enhanced security, we recommend accessing Inheritus through secure networks, especially when using mobile devices, and ensuring that your device’s operating system and security software are always up to date.

Is Inheritus suitable for managing estates across multiple jurisdictions?

Yes, Inheritus is designed to handle estates spanning multiple countries and currencies. Our platform accommodates various legal systems, ensuring comprehensive estate management regardless of jurisdiction.

Does Inheritus offer support for businesses?

Yes, we provide specific client discounts, white-labelling, tailored solutions for various business organizations, including corporate employers, wealth and financial advisors, accounting firms, legal professionals, realtors, funeral homes, life insurers, and retirement associations. Our platform enhances client relationships and streamlines estate management processes.

How does Inheritus ensure the security of my information?

Inheritus takes data security very seriously. Our platform is built and maintained by a company with over 35 years of experience developing and managing HRIS (Human Resource Information Systems) software that handles highly sensitive employee data. This partner company has maintained an impeccable track record, with zero breaches over three decades of protecting confidential information.

Inheritus inherits this commitment to security by implementing advanced encryption protocols like SSL and TLS to safeguard your data during transmission. We also conduct regular security audits and compliance checks, and utilize multi-factor authentication to prevent unauthorized access, ensuring that your estate planning and administration data remains fully protected.

For your safety, please never share your password with anyone. Inheritus will never request your password or personal information via email, phone, or any other communication. Be vigilant against phishing scams, where malicious parties may impersonate legitimate services to steal your credentials.

Additionally, avoid accessing your Inheritus account on public Wi-Fi networks without using a VPN (Virtual Private Network). Public Wi-Fi can expose your connection to risks, and a VPN helps secure your data from potential hackers. Protecting your account is a shared responsibility, and we encourage you to take these steps to ensure your data remains safe.

How does Inheritus ensure data privacy, including through its use of artificial intelligence?

At Inheritus, protecting your privacy is our top priority. We take extensive measures to safeguard your data, starting with removing any personally identifiable information (PII) before it is processed by our artificial intelligence (AI) systems. This ensures that your sensitive information is protected throughout the AI-driven process. Once the AI insights are generated, we securely reapply the necessary PII, maintaining our high privacy standards.

We also monitor and fully comply with data privacy regulations across all jurisdictions, ensuring that your data is handled securely and in accordance with the law.

In addition to our privacy practices, our AI tools provide intelligent, context-aware assistance to administrators, helping them manage tasks efficiently and in compliance with legal requirements. These AI-driven features offer personalized insights, automate task management, and provide detailed analytics and reports. By combining strong privacy practices with advanced AI capabilities, Inheritus delivers secure and effective estate management solutions.
