Security & Inheritance

Security and inheritance are at the heart of Legacy. Here you’ll learn how we protect your assets, safeguard your private keys, and ensure your loved ones can securely inherit your crypto when the time comes. From account recovery to beneficiary setup, these articles guide you through everything you need to know.

Does Legacy ever take custody of my crypto or private keys?
No. Legacy is fully non-custodial. You can export your Secret Recovery Phrase from the Settings page.

What if I lose my phone or access to my Legacy account? Can I recover it?

Yes. You can recover access with your email and 2FA.

You can also export your Secret Recovery Phrase from the Setting page.
If you lose access to your email or Secret Recovery Phrase, Legacy is not able to recover your account.

Will my beneficiary be able to access my assets while I’m still alive?

No. Beneficiaries cannot access your funds until Legacy has verified your death certificate.

Do I still need a legal will or trust if I use Legacy’s inheritance feature?

Legacy handles the transfer of your crypto assets, but it does not replace a full estate plan. We recommend using it alongside a legal will or trust for complete coverage.
