    Administrative vault services are non-FAIS. Insurance services, where live, are financial services and are provided under the relevant authorisation, disclosures and product-provider terms. The will wizard and estate vault are software tools, not FAIS products. Insurance cover products are not yet on sale. When insurance products are offered, any remuneration will be regulated under FAIS and disclosed before any transaction. CPA and ECTA cooling-off rights apply where the transaction qualifies. The FSP licence is held by When I Am Gone alone and is never re-presented under a partner brand.
