LifeWyn vs a traditional will
A will decides who inherits. It does not tell anyone what exists, where it is, or how to reach it. These are different problems.
Les points forts de a traditional will
- It is the legal instrument that actually transfers ownership. Nothing else does this, and no software substitutes for it.
- It is recognised by courts and institutions, which is precisely what makes it worth having.
- It can appoint executors and guardians in a way that carries legal weight.
Ce pour quoi il n'est pas conçu
- Listing what you own. Most wills describe classes of property, not the specific accounts and institutions holding it.
- Holding secrets. A will typically becomes readable by others — putting credentials in one is a bad idea for that reason alone.
- Being current. It is updated occasionally; your accounts change constantly.
- Being reachable when needed. A will in a solicitor's drawer helps nobody who does not know it exists.

La réponse honnête
Lequel choisir ?
Have a will. It is the only thing that transfers ownership. LifeWyn is what makes the will actionable: the index of what exists, the credentials that must not go in the will itself, and the route to reach both.
- Does LifeWyn replace a will?
- No, and it should not be described that way. LifeWyn is not a legal service and does not draft, witness or execute anything. A will decides who inherits; LifeWyn makes sure the people named in it can find out what there is to inherit and how to claim it.
- Should I put my passwords in my will?
- It is generally a poor idea, because a will can become readable by more people than you intended and it is not updated when a password changes. Recording where the credentials are held, so that whoever needs them can be granted access under your rules, keeps the legal document and the secrets in the right places.
