Secure Document Vault

Long-term estate planning document access without the email sprawl.

Estate planning documents need to be easy to find years later, but they should not live in old email attachments or scattered shared drives. Statular keeps documents tied to the matter and deliverable through a secure client portal.

What the Vault Holds

Store the documents clients and attorneys need to return to.

Final estate planning materials

Keep completed trusts, wills, powers, healthcare directives, deeds, client summaries, and supporting documents organized in the matter.

Source documents and uploads

Store deeds, prior plans, account statements, death certificates, signed documents, IDs, and other materials clients provide during intake.

Portal delivery and retrieval

Publish documents to the client portal so clients can access key materials without searching old email threads or expired file links.

Security controls around the storage workflow.

A document vault is only useful if access is controlled and the document workflow fits how attorneys actually work.

  • Encrypted document storage and encrypted transport
  • Firm-managed matter and client access
  • Client portal authentication with MFA available
  • Matter history for document generation, publishing, and download activity
  • Tenant isolation and ownership checks across firm data
  • US-based AWS hosting and a SOC 2-aligned security program

Retention Workflow

From intake upload to future retrieval.

01

Collect documents in context

Clients upload deeds, statements, prior plans, and signed documents through the portal or intake workflow, keeping files attached to the matter.

02

Generate and review drafts

The firm generates Word documents, reviews them, regenerates as needed, and keeps prior versions available for reference.

03

Publish final materials

Final documents can be delivered through the client portal instead of scattered email attachments.

04

Retrieve later

The firm and client can return to the matter record and portal when key estate planning materials are needed again.
