Kinvault

Leave more than money.

Leave understanding.

Life admin often lives in too many places; bits of paper, logins, half-remembered chats. If something happened to you, would the people you care about know where to start?

Our personalised handover service, built around the secure Kinvault platform, gives loved ones a place to turn to.

It gathers all the legal, financial, practical and personal details that they'll need one day, and explains it all in a way that makes sense.

Kinvault is offered through advisers, estate planning specialists, or your bank or employer.

Why Kinvault

Insight, not just inheritance

Kinvault is a digital home for the things that really matter. That includes Wills, deeds and other important documents. But it can also hold messages, photos, practical notes and all the other details that make sense of a life. It's the key component of our handover service.

Less stress for the people you love

When it comes to practicalities, too many families face needless anxiety and confusion after someone dies. Kinvault gives clear guidance on what exists and where to look, so they spend less time hunting for paperwork and more time caring for each other.

A clear handover when the time comes

Life's moving parts are easy to lose track of. Kinvault brings them all together so nothing important is lost, delayed or overlooked when your affairs are being sorted out.

Backed by serious security

Your data is encrypted, stored in the UK and protected to government-accredited standards. Kinvault is Cyber Essentials Plus certified and hosted on UK-based AWS infrastructure. Find out more about how we keep your information safe.

How Kinvault works

Support when it matters most

When someone dies, it can be hard to know where to start and it can feel like everything happens at once. Kinvault is designed to bring a bit more clarity and calm to that moment.

For individuals and families

Helps families see what exists, where it is and who to speak to. Instead of guessing which accounts, policies or documents might be out there, they can see a clear picture of the estate, along with any wishes and practical instructions you've chosen to record.

For your bank or adviser

For the organisations that look after your assets, Kinvault means they are better placed to support your loved ones. They can follow a consistent process and focus more on guiding your family through what happens next.

Why financial institutions and advisers choose Kinvault

Bereavement is one of the most sensitive moments in any advised relationship. Kinvault helps advisers offer more than a stack of forms and a difficult phone call. It connects clients to a secure life admin hub, helping to improve bereavement journeys, support vulnerable clients and keep relationships strong across generations.
