Estate executor
A recipient with special status: their presence is mandatory to open the vault, except when death has been confirmed. Ideal for a notary, a lawyer, or an official executor overseeing the transmission of your wishes.
What is their role?
You designate them among your recipients. They receive a quorum share exactly like the others, but they add a constraint: if you have appointed them, the vault CANNOT open without their explicit consent, even if all other recipients agree. It is a legal safeguard.
Who can act as executor?
- Notary — The most common choice. Brings legal reliability, notarial archiving, and an educational role with the heirs.
- Lawyer — For complex or international estates. Better positioned to handle potential conflicts.
- Official estate executor — Person designated in your written will. Consistent with your overall notarial approach.
Death of the executor: If the estate executor passes away before you (or before the vault's release), they are automatically removed from the equation and their consent is no longer required. You can also appoint a replacement executor at any time.
