Frequently Asked Questions

LaterWill is a secure posthumous message delivery service. You write messages to your loved ones, and they are delivered after repeated check-ins and (if added) trusted contact verification. It's a digital "dead man's switch" for your final words.

Simply create a free account, write your first message, and add recipients. You can optionally add trusted contacts for extra verification. The whole process takes about 5 minutes.

Yes! The free plan includes 3 messages, 3 recipients per message, and 1 trusted contact. Premium plans offer unlimited messages, more recipients, and advanced features like custom check-in intervals.

After signing up, you can immediately start writing messages. We'll send you periodic check-in emails (every 30 days by default). As long as you respond, nothing happens. Your messages stay safely stored.

Nobody except your designated recipients after delivery. Messages are encrypted at rest, and LaterWill staff cannot access your message content. We use AES-256 encryption, the same standard used by banks.

Even if someone gained access to your account, they cannot trigger message delivery. If you add trusted contacts, they must verify before delivery; otherwise delivery happens after the waiting period.

Yes, you have full control. You can delete individual messages, recipients, or your entire account at any time. When you delete data, it's permanently removed from our servers.

Yes, we maintain encrypted backups to prevent data loss. Backups are stored securely in European data centers and are subject to the same encryption and access controls as live data.

No worries! We send multiple reminders over 90+ days. Missing one email won't trigger delivery. If you added trusted contacts, they are asked to verify before delivery.

Yes, you can edit your messages anytime before delivery. Many users update their messages periodically to keep them current.

You can write anything - farewell letters, instructions, passwords, memories, or advice. Messages support rich text formatting. Keep in mind that very sensitive information like financial credentials might be better handled through a traditional will.

Messages are delivered via email to your designated recipients. Each recipient receives a secure, private link to view their message. The message content is only accessible through this unique link.

A trusted contact is someone you designate to verify your status before messages are delivered. This could be a family member, close friend, or attorney. They act as a safeguard against accidental delivery.

Trusted contacts are optional but recommended. Without them, messages are delivered automatically after the waiting period. With trusted contacts, they must verify your status first, adding an extra safety layer. Premium plans allow up to 5 trusted contacts.

Trusted contacts only see that you have the service and are asked to verify your status. They cannot see your message content, recipient list, or any other private information.

The free plan includes 3 messages, up to 3 recipients per message, 1 trusted contact, encrypted storage, and our standard 30-day check-in interval. It's perfect for getting started.

Yes, you can change your plan at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately. If you downgrade, the change applies at the end of your current billing period.

We accept all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) through our secure payment processor Stripe. We also offer yearly plans with a discount.

We commit to notifying users at least 6 months in advance. All messages would be delivered as intended. We maintain financial reserves specifically for service continuity.

Currently, we do not offer a data export feature, but this is planned for a future update. Your messages are securely stored and always accessible through your account.

LaterWill works on all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. We also work great on mobile devices.
