Why this exists

Legamap started with a flight.

A holiday flight with family, and somewhere over the Atlantic, the arithmetic. If that plane went down, the people waiting on the ground would not inherit assets. They would inherit a mystery. Two banks they had never heard of. A brokerage account in another country. A pension opened decades earlier and never thought about since. A hardware wallet in a drawer that looks like a USB stick.

None of it was hidden. It is just that the only complete list lived where every complete list lives: in the head of the person who built it.

We looked for a product that fixes exactly this. We found document vaults, will generators, and American estate-planning suites that assume American paperwork. We did not find a map.

Inheritance only finds what someone thinks to ask about

Probate is not a search engine. A notary sends queries to the institutions the family names. If nobody knows there is a broker in another country, nobody asks, and the account simply stays where it is.

This is not a rare edge case. In the United States alone, state unclaimed property funds hold tens of billions of dollars in accounts nobody claimed. Most of that money was never hidden. It was just never found.

Five things we deliberately do not do

Not a will. Legamap has no legal force over who inherits what. It is an information tool. It tells your family where to look; your will and your notary decide who gets it.

Not a financial service. Legamap does not hold, move or manage money or assets, and it has no access to your accounts. It is not a bank, a custodian or an investment service, and it gives no financial, investment, tax or legal advice. Your assets stay exactly where they are. The map only records where that is.

Not a password manager. We do not store passwords, PINs, seed phrases or full account numbers — and we will not let you store them either. If you paste something that looks like an IBAN or a recovery phrase, the field will refuse it. A map to your assets is worth a great deal to your family. A file full of credentials is worth a great deal to everyone else.

Not a document vault. You can attach documents, but the product is the structured map. Everplans will store your files. We tell your family what exists.

Not zero-knowledge encrypted. Your data is encrypted at rest and in transit, and sensitive fields are encrypted individually — but our servers can decrypt them, because on the day it matters your family will not have your key. Any service promising both true zero-knowledge encryption and automatic delivery after your death is describing something that cannot exist. We would rather tell you where the trust actually sits.
