A private continuity system for moments when others must act on your behalf.
We build secure, clear pathways for your loved ones, so that in your absence, they find clarity instead of chaos.
Start With A Private DiscoveryWhen life becomes uncertain, the people we love shouldn’t be left guessing, searching for access, or hunting for answers at the worst possible moment.
Too often, responsible individuals leave behind a "Digital Treasure Hunt"—scattered passwords, hidden accounts, and unsaid wishes. This turns grief into administration.
"I help individuals and families quietly put order to what matters, so responsibility doesn’t turn into a burden."
This work isn’t just about documents. It’s about the people who may have to step in when you can’t. I create Life Manuals that allow someone you trust to move forward with calm, direction, and confidence.
— Craig Rothchild, Founder
We do not rely on the cloud. We rely on sovereignty.
We review your digital life and responsibilities to identify what exists, what’s missing, and what matters most. We map the ecosystem of your life.
Your information is organized into a structured Life Manual—so someone else can step in without confusion. This is a physical and digital roadmap.
We implement "Zero-Knowledge" encryption on client-owned hardware. You hold the keys. No corporate cloud can lock your family out during probate.
A manual is useless if no one knows how to use it. We personally train your chosen successor on how and when to access your command center.
Private. Personal. Structured. Projects begin with a 50% retainer.
For individuals or couples needing a secure foundation.
For families wanting a clear, successor-friendly roadmap.
For complex lives, business owners, and high-stakes responsibilities.
*Disclaimer: All projects are governed by a strict Non-Disclosure Protocol. We are not attorneys or financial advisors.
We are currently admitting five families into our Founding Portfolio. To recognize these early adopters of the Legacy Architect RVA framework, each will receive a $500 engagement credit toward their initial Audit.
Most cloud platforms are controlled by corporations that can access, restrict, or lock accounts during probate. We advocate for Data Sovereignty—meaning you, not a corporation, hold the keys to your life’s work. Your information lives on client-owned, encrypted hardware.
Most estates stall for months because families can’t find account keys, medical directives, or essential instructions. We eliminate the "Digital Treasure Hunt" by creating a Successor Roadmap that removes guesswork.
No. We operate on a zero-knowledge basis. You own everything. Nothing is stored by us. We help you build the vault; we do not keep a key.
No. This practice does not provide legal, financial, or clinical services. Our work is designed to complement estate planners and attorneys by organizing the digital world so they can do their best work.
This is a guided, one-on-one process. We start with a private conversation to understand your situation, your priorities, and who would need to step in if something happened.
