Zero-access vault
Private vault contents stay encrypted.
The server runs reminders, verifier workflows, and release state. It does not need plaintext filenames, note bodies, or private documents for ordinary operation.
Trust Center
Clarity builds trust better than drama.
Release rules
The workflow now supports release profiles and review delays.
Users can define the purpose of the release, add item-level release windows, and add an intentional waiting period after verifier approval before any beneficiary or legal packet access opens. The delay is enforced in the workflow before packet links become available.
Emergency pause
Coverage can be frozen without deleting the setup.
If life gets messy, the owner can pause release coverage, keep the vault intact, and resume later when the structure feels safe again.
Legal packet path
Lawyer and notary delivery can stay separate.
Users can assign formal documents to dedicated legal contacts so beneficiaries do not see the same packet and legal contacts do not see beneficiary-facing material.
Release flow
The full handoff can be visualized step by step.
1. Encrypted vault setup
The owner prepares encrypted items, recipients, legal notes, and recovery structure.
2. Check-in and reminders
DMS starts with reminders before any human escalation begins.
3. Trusted contacts first
A softer human layer can try to reach the owner before verifier review.
4. 2-of-5 human confirmation
Verifiers independently confirm whether release should continue.
5. Review delay and item windows
Configured delays and per-item release windows are enforced before access opens.
6. Isolated recipient packets
Beneficiaries, legal contacts, and executors see only the items assigned to their path.
Audit trail
Critical activity is chained into a tamper-evident history.
Every important account event is linked to the previous one with a running hash so the timeline can be checked later for integrity.
Recovery pack
Users can print the structure before trusting it.
The recovery pack gives an offline summary of beneficiaries, legal contacts, verifiers, release rules, and audit status without exposing vault contents.
Encrypted backup export
Owners can preserve an offline encrypted package.
The owner can export a passphrase-protected backup containing encrypted vault payloads, recipient structure, audit metadata, and integrity hashes for offline safekeeping.
Trusted contacts
A softer human step can happen before verifier review.
Trusted contacts can be notified before verifiers so the owner has a closer, lower-friction human checkpoint before formal release review begins.
Legal packet PDF
Formal handoff can be downloaded as a printable packet.
When a legal contact receives access, DMS can produce a printable packet showing the role, release rules, audit summary, and assigned items without exposing unrelated recipient paths.
Beneficiary packet PDF
Beneficiaries can receive a printable handoff too.
Beneficiary packets keep the handoff focused, list only the assigned items, and can be acknowledged after receipt.
Delivery health
Email delivery should be visible before it becomes urgent.
Owners can review recent delivery failures and recent mail events so verifier, beneficiary, and legal-contact communication can be corrected before a real release depends on it.
Practical promise
DMS protects the vault while making the process understandable.
- Encrypted vault data is treated separately from service metadata
- Human confirmation is still required before release
- The owner can pause coverage or add review delays without rebuilding the account
- Recipients can acknowledge packet receipt and owners can keep an encrypted offline backup
