Understanding the succession vault

Updated on 18 June 2026

The principle of a read-only access passed on to trusted loved ones after prolonged inactivity.

What becomes of your important documents if, one day, you can no longer access them yourself? The <strong>succession vault</strong> answers this question gently and carefully. It lets you designate trusted loved ones who, after prolonged inactivity on your part, will be able to view your documents in read-only mode. This article explains the principle, its safeguards and its limits before you get started.

The principle in a few words

You choose one or more trusted contacts and an inactivity threshold (for example several months without signing in). As long as you use Noryo normally, nothing happens: each sign-in resets the counter. Only after prolonged inactivity, and after warnings, can read-only access open up for your contacts.

What your contacts can and cannot do

You stay in control, always

  • You freely choose your trusted contacts and can change them
  • You set and adjust the inactivity threshold whenever you want
  • Each sign-in resets the counter to zero
  • The mechanism can be revoked at any time
  • Warnings give you time to react before anything is triggered

What the succession vault is not

This mechanism is a practical convenience to make it easier for your loved ones to access useful documents. It <strong>does not replace the legal steps</strong> involved in a succession (will, notary, official formalities). Think of it as a complement, not a legal act.
