Estate planning is often treated as a paperwork problem. Paperwork matters, but it cannot say everything.
Timed messages let you prepare practical or personal messages now and schedule them for later. In Legati, timed video messages sit alongside encrypted documents, wills, medical directives, delegate access, and wellness checks.
Why Timed Messages Matter
Documents can tell people what to do. A video can explain what matters, why a decision was made, where to look next, or what you want someone to hear in your own voice.
Some messages are practical: executor instructions, account context, medical preferences, business continuity notes, or family logistics. Others are personal: birthdays, graduations, weddings, anniversaries, encouragement, or memories.
How They Fit a Legacy Vault
A secure legacy vault should preserve more than files. It should preserve context. Timed messages are one of the clearest ways to give loved ones context without waiting until a crisis.
Legati plans include timed video message allowances, with higher tiers supporting more active messages. That makes timed messages a core part of the product, not a side feature.
What to Record First
Start with one practical message for your delegate and one personal message for someone close to you. Keep each message focused. Tell people what they need to know, where to find documents, and who else should be contacted.
Privacy and Review
Because messages can be deeply personal, review them regularly. Update them after major life changes, and make sure your delegate list still reflects the people you trust.
