Simple steps. Lasting peace of mind.

01

Gather everything in one place

Store documents, accounts, wishes and instructions — categorised, searchable, and always up to date in your personal vault.

02

Choose the people you trust

Designate sponsors — the individuals you trust to access your information when the time comes, with the level of access you decide.

03

Rest easy, knowing they're ready

Your sponsors receive clear, calm guidance. Your family is spared confusion and stress during the most painful moments.

Why Afterhand

Built for the moments that matter most

Organised

Everything in one place

Store documents, accounts, passwords, and wishes — securely organised in a vault only you can see.

Trusted

The right people, at the right time

Choose who can access your vault and when. You stay in complete control — access only unlocks when needed.

Secure

Encrypted by design

Your data stays encrypted until your chosen sponsors unlock it. We never see your information — only the people you trust do.

Access control

Your rules.
Your vault.

You decide exactly how and when your information becomes accessible — and to whom. Choose the strategy that fits your situation, and change it any time.

Most popular

Inactivity unlock

Your vault stays locked as long as you log in regularly. If you stop — after a window you set — your sponsors are notified and can request access.

For partners

Support your clients before they need you

Afterhand gives funeral directors, solicitors, and estate planners a trusted tool to offer clients — and a secure portal to manage vault access when the time comes.

Invite clients directly

Send personalised Afterhand invitations from your portal. Clients sign up under your partnership — you stay their named contact.

Be notified when needed

When a client's vault becomes relevant, you receive a secure notification and can begin the unlock process on the family's behalf.

Verified professional access

Your firm is registered and verified by Afterhand. Families know that any partner-led unlock has been authenticated and documented.
