Building for Succession

Architecting by Recipient

One of the most effective strategies for an Autonomous Inheritance Protocol is to classify directives by their ultimate recipient:

├── 📁 For Surviving Spouse
│   ├── Financial continuity map
│   ├── Personal letters
│   └── Joint asset credentials
├── 📁 For Successors (Children)
│   ├── Generational archives
│   └── Encouragement letters
├── 📁 For Professional Executor
│   └── Legal & tax directives
└── 📁 The Universal Archive
    └── General family history

Architecting by Directive Type

├── 📁 Wealth & Capital Directives
├── 📁 Legal & Physical Directives
├── 📁 Identity & Account Continuity
├── 📁 Generational Media Archives
└── 📁 Private Intellectual Property

Protocol Management

Sealing Your Directives

Multiple ways to archive assets within the Sovereign Protocol:

• Digital Airlock: Securely encrypt and persist files directly from your browser.
• Mobile Intake: Use the SovSeal institutional app for capturing physical documents or media.
• Bulk Archiving: Transition entire folder structures with persistent hierarchy.

Supported Data Formats

The SovSeal protocol accepts all file formats, ensuring that even proprietary or specialized data remains permanent:

Institutional Versioning

SovSeal maintains a permanent audit trail of your directives:

• Automatic versioning ensures you can track the evolution of your intent.
• Access historical versions to resolve legal or personal ambiguities.

Discovery and Verification

Institutional Search

Search across your entire estate map to verify the completeness of your directives:

• File & Classification names.
• Contextual Tag matches.
• Protocol-level metadata.

Asset Filtering

Narrow down directives by:

• Data Classification.
• Maturity/Mofication Date.
• Heir Designation.

Storage & Endowment Management

Capacity Overview

Your dashboard provides a real-time audit of your protocol capacity:

• Total storage capitalized by your endowment.
• Remaining permanent capacity.
• Distribution of archives by category.

Best Practices for Generational Clarity

1. The $10M Heir Test: Ask yourself: "If I left $10M in this folder, are the instructions clear enough for my heir to claim it without calling a lawyer?"
2. Limit Nesting: Aim for no more than 3 levels of depth. Institutional clarity suffers under excessive complexity.
3. Use Descriptive Names: Avoid generic names like "Important.pdf". Use "2024_03_DigitalWill_v2_Final.pdf".
4. Include README Directives: Use a simple text file at the root of a folder to explain why these documents matter and how they should be used.
