    Common questions

    What is When I Am Gone?

    When I Am Gone is a secure digital vault where you can store important estate information - documents, account details, contacts, and instructions - so your family or executor can find everything when they need it.

    What isn't WIAG?

    WIAG is not a legal service or financial adviser. The service includes tools to help you prepare a will, but that is not the same as legal advice. For legal advice, consult a qualified attorney.

    Is my information safe?

    Yes. Vault entries are encrypted in your browser before they are uploaded, and uploaded files are encrypted on our servers before they are stored. Only you (or people you authorise) can access your vault.

    Can I try it free?

    Yes. You can create a vault and start adding information at no cost. Paid plans offer additional features like more storage and sharing options.

    Who can see my information?

    Only you, unless you choose to share access. You control exactly what each person can see and when they can request access.
