THE CHALLENGE

Most estates are fragmented long before probate begins.

Valuable assets, important documents and critical information are often scattered, outdated or unknown to family members.

Fragmented records

Title documents, company records and evidence in different places.

Outdated wills

Instruments that may no longer reflect your circumstances.

Disconnected assets

Properties, investments and business interests rarely viewed together.

Uncertain responsibilities

Family structures change. Executors may not know their role.

Searcha Vault turns fragmented records into a structured estate conversation.

THE FOUNDATION

At any point, your estate plan should answer five questions.

  1. 01

    What do you own?

  2. 02

    How is each asset held?

  3. 03

    What legal instrument governs it?

  4. 04

    Who receives or controls it?

  5. 05

    Where is the authoritative evidence?

THE SOLUTION

A complete estate perspective,
built for real life.

A connected approach to your assets, people, instruments and records. The modules below describe the proposed service; availability is confirmed through counsel.

Estate Inventory

Organise property, investments, liabilities, business interests and digital assets. Connect ownership, valuations and supporting evidence.

01 / ESTATE & LEGACY

Family & People

Map family, dependants, beneficiaries and the people entrusted with decisions, including executors, trustees and guardians.

02 / ESTATE & LEGACY

Wills & Instruments

Bring wills, codicils, trusts, powers of attorney and company agreements into one review. Executed versions must never be silently overwritten.

03 / ESTATE & LEGACY

Document Custody

Plan for authoritative records, access controls and a traceable version history. Confirm custody arrangements with counsel.

04 / ESTATE & LEGACY

Reviews & Estate Events

A new asset, marriage, birth, relocation or change in beneficiaries may mean your estate plan needs review.

05 / ESTATE & LEGACY

Access, Release & Probate

Define executor roles and controlled release with human verification. Client inactivity alone must never release an estate file.

EXECUTION MATTERS

Built for legal reality.

A digital click is not automatically a legally executed will.

Searcha Vault supports preparation, organisation and counsel collaboration. Counsel confirms the appropriate execution pack, formalities and evidence for your circumstances.

NIGERIA-FIRST

Jurisdiction by jurisdiction.

Succession requirements and probate practice need local review. Lagos is the initial proposed focus; counsel confirms scope before engagement.

PRIVATE CLIENT ENGAGEMENT

A scope shaped around your estate.

Engagements are scoped following conflict checks, estate review, complexity, jurisdiction and counsel approval. Discuss instrument review, drafting, execution preparation, custody arrangements and annual review options.

YOUR QUESTIONS

Clarity before you begin.

All frequently asked questions ↗
Is Searcha Vault an online will generator?

No. It is a counsel-led approach to estate organisation, instrument review, execution preparation and continuity. The public site accepts enquiries; the dashboard shown is a product preview.

Can I sign my will online?

A digital click is not automatically a legally executed will. Counsel must confirm the requirements for your jurisdiction and circumstances before execution.

What if I already have a will?

Begin with an inventory and a counsel review of the existing instrument. Preserve the original and its history while considering any changes.

Can I add a codicil?

Discuss proposed changes with counsel. A codicil needs its own review and execution process and must be linked to the relevant will version.

GET STARTED

Let’s structure
what happens next.

A more organised estate begins with a considered conversation about the people and things that matter most.
