There are 3 options for deciding what happens to the contents of your safe deposit box after your death. If you have already opened a safe deposit box today, by default it will be option 1 (transfer to your heirs) but you can choose for another option:
- Option 1 (default): TOTAL (OR PARTIAL) TRANSFER BY A NOTARY TO YOUR HEIRS
Upon your death, a transfer of the contents of your safe deposit box is organized by the notary (freely determined by the heirs) to all heirs, at their initiative. During your lifetime, it is also possible to select yourself which documents you want to share. By default, the entire vault will be shared. - Option 2: TRANSFER TO HEIRS AND SELECTED CONTACT(S)
You may decide to transfer the entire contents or specific documents to selected Izimi contacts after your death.Beware, all of the documents you select will also be transferred to your heirs. So you cannot transfer a document to your contact that is not also transferred to your heirs. After all, legally speaking, your heirs have to receive all of the documents you transfer via Izimi.
Your heirs and contacts will receive a notification via their Izimi stating that the contents of your safe deposit box will be transferred to them. They then have 24 months to download the contents to their personal Izimi safe deposit box.
- Option 3: DESTRUCTION OF THE SAFE DEPOSIT BOX
By choosing this option, everything in your safe that you have not previously shared will be destroyed 10 days after your death, even if a will were to provide differently. Even if a will states otherwise. Choosing this option has irreversible consequences.
Whatever you choose, the contents of your vault will be destroyed after your death, either after a couple of days (option 3) or after being transferred to your heirs, or to the people of your choice (option 1 and 2).
