About SLDocs
SLDocs was founded by attorneys who, throughout their careers, were asked three questions more than any other:
“Where can I safely store my estate planning files so they can be accessed if something happens to me?”
“How will my contacts get my files if something happens to me?”
“What happens to my documents if the firm goes out of business or you retire?”
These are not edge-case concerns. They are the most practical, urgent questions that follow every estate planning conversation — and for years, there was no single service that answered all of them well.
Existing options meant choosing between convenience and security: email attachments that got buried, USB drives that got lost, filing cabinets that no one knew to look in, or cloud storage services that weren't designed with estate access in mind. And none of them solved for what happens decades later, when the drafting attorney has retired or the firm has wound down.
We decided to build what we couldn't find: a service purpose-built to solve all three problems — secure, encrypted storage for your estate documents, a clear and reliable way to make sure the right people can access them when it matters most, and continuity that doesn't depend on any single firm staying in business.
Built to last
Two policies behind “decades later”
Estate documents are often needed long after they're stored. Your storage service needs to outlast a lot of things: change, neglect, gaps in payment. Two policies make that promise concrete.
Retention
Documents are never deleted
If you stop paying, miss a renewal, or simply walk away for years, your uploaded documents remain encrypted in storage and encryption keys stay wrapped in our key-management system. You — or your family, years later — can restore access by reactivating the account; reactivation pricing scales with the time elapsed. The documents are still there when you come back.
Free tier persists
Six documents, free, indefinitely
The Free tier — up to six documents and one designated recipient — has no expiration. If your estate-planning needs are modest, no recurring payment is required to keep those documents accessible to the people who'll need them. The paid tiers exist for households with more to store, not as a paywall to access what you've already uploaded.
