Legal Compliance
Understand how SovSeal integrates with estate law and legal requirements.
Legal Compliance
SovSeal is designed to complement — not replace — traditional estate planning. We provide tools and documentation that work alongside wills, trusts, and powers of attorney to ensure your digital estate is properly addressed.
Important: SovSeal provides tools for digital asset protection and transfer. We are not a law firm and do not provide legal advice. Consult your estate attorney to integrate SovSeal into your comprehensive estate plan.

Our Legal Philosophy
Complement, Don't Replace
SovSeal addresses digital assets within the broader context of estate planning:
| Traditional Planning | SovSeal's Role |
|---|---|
| Will names heirs | Vault designates trusted contacts |
| Trust defines asset distribution | Release conditions mirror trust terms |
| Power of attorney grants authority | Trusted contact verification confirms authorization |
We recommend coordinating SovSeal configuration with your overall estate plan.

- Digital Asset Directive — Clear instructions for digital asset handling
- Vault Access Authorization — Legal framework for trusted contact access

Our release and verification processes are designed to be:
