Legacy
Keep your stories going after you pass, or open a Remember left to you.
I want to name someone
Choose who receives your Remember after you pass. It takes a minute.
Someone left me their account
You'll need their access key and death certificate.
How it works
Six short stepsShow themHide them
- 1
Name someone
Pick an adult you trust as your legacy contact in Settings. We email them an access key, or you give it to them. It stays private to you until then.
- 2
They ask for access
After you pass away, they come here with the key and your death certificate.
- 3
We wait 30 days
We email you. If you're alive, signing in cancels it. That stops false claims. Then a person here checks the certificate.
- 4
Your account becomes a memorial
Nothing in it can change. It's free and never deleted for inactivity. We cancel your plan and refund anything charged after you passed.
- 5
They read it
They open it from their own Remember account. They can search it, ask it questions and copy things into their own account. They can never change yours.
- 6
It passes on
If they name a legacy contact too, it goes on to that person in turn. A recipe card can reach a great-grandchild.
Naming someone here counts under the Uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act, law in Virginia and nearly every state. For this account, it overrides your will. Details are in our Terms.
Keeping things out
Want something to stay private forever? Choose “Don't pass this on” from its menu. It works on a single note, photo or reminder, or on a whole person or life area, which keeps out everything filed under it too. You still use it as normal. Settings → Your data lists what you've kept out, and you can include it again anytime.
Claim an account left to you
For the person named as legacy contact. You'll need the access key and a copy of the death certificate. You don't need a Remember account yet.
No key, or no legacy contact?
Lost the key? Email privacy@embodied-era.com from the address they named, with the death certificate.
No legacy contact? The executor of the estate can email privacy@embodied-era.com with the death certificate and the court papers naming you. We'll send a list of what the account holds. To read it, also send the will or a court order. The law requires this.
We open the claim for you, and the same 30-day wait applies. We never delete an account while a claim is open. It's all free.
