Executor Instructions: The Template Every Founder Needs
Your lawyer knows how to transfer your shares. They don't know how to transfer your AWS root account. Copy this template.
The Missing Page in Your Will
Your Last Will and Testament covers physical assets. But for a digital business, the "keys to the kingdom" are literal keys: SSH keys, private keys, API keys.
Your executor needs a technical runbook.
The "Digital Executor" Checklist
1. The Inventory: List every SaaS tool, domain registrar, and bank account. 2. The Access Method: Don't put passwords in the will (it becomes public record!). Instead, say "Access credentials are stored in ZeroLatch vault #1." 3. The Authority: Explicitly grant your digital executor the right to access, manage, and delete your digital accounts (to satisfy Terms of Service requirements).
Pro Tip: Use ZeroLatch to deliver this checklist only when needed, keeping it updated without rewriting your will.
