    Digital Legacy

    Digital legacy planning in the UK

    A digital legacy is the set of accounts, files, messages, and instructions you leave behind. Y.O.D.O. is a UK private communication support service that turns that intent into a calm, verified handover for the people you choose.

    The short answer

    Y.O.D.O. is a UK digital legacy service. It holds sealed messages, practical instructions, and contact details privately, then releases them to the Recipients you named after a passing has been verified. It works alongside, not instead of, your will.

    What digital legacy actually covers

    Digital legacy includes the practical (passwords, subscriptions, account closures), the personal (letters, voice notes, photos), and the relational (who needs to know, in what order). A will alone rarely carries any of this. Y.O.D.O. fills that gap with a private space you control while you are alive.

    How Y.O.D.O. fits alongside your will

    Your will deals with assets and legal authority. Y.O.D.O. deals with communication and instructions. You can draft messages in writing, voice, or video, attach documents, and assign each one to a named Recipient. Nothing is released until a Delegate has reported the passing and completed Persona identity verification, a death certificate is on file, and the 72-hour dispute window has closed.

    Active, not passive: we do not wait to be told

    Most digital legacy services sit silent until someone remembers to log in and report a passing. In grief, that often never happens, and the messages people wrote with care are never delivered. Y.O.D.O. is different. Scheduled check-ins create a quiet signal of life. If that signal goes missing, Y.O.D.O. reaches out to your Delegates and prompts them to act, rather than waiting for them to think of it on their own. That single shift dramatically increases the chance that your words actually reach the people you wrote them for.
