Plain language. No traps. We've written these so you actually know what you're agreeing to — because clarity is part of how we protect you.

Sucesio is NOT a will. It is NOT a legal instrument and does NOT replace a notary, avocat, abogado, or solicitor. Instructions stored in Sucesio have no automatic legal force. We strongly recommend using Sucesio alongside a valid will prepared by a qualified legal professional.
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Sucesio platform ("Platform"), operated by Sucesio ("Company", "we", "us"). By creating an account or using the Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy.
If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must not use the Platform. You can reach us at any time at hello@sucesio.io.
Sucesio is an ORGANISATIONAL TOOL ONLY. It does not constitute a will, testament, codicil, trust, or any other legal succession instrument. It does not replace a notary, avocat, abogado, or solicitor. It does not provide legal, tax, financial, or estate planning advice. Instructions stored in Sucesio have no inherent legal force and are not binding on any heir, executor, court, or government authority.
The Platform allows you to:
None of these functions create legally binding succession arrangements. You must engage qualified legal counsel to create a valid will and estate plan.
You must be at least 18 years of age to use the Platform. By accepting these Terms, you represent that you are of legal age and have full legal capacity to enter into a binding contract under the laws of your jurisdiction.
The Platform is not available to persons whose account has been previously suspended or terminated by the Company.
Access to asset information by designated contacts is subject to a mandatory three-stage verification protocol. No asset information is disclosed until all three stages have been completed.
Automated check-in alerts over a minimum 30-day escalation window across multiple channels. You may reset at any time from any device.
Your designated trusted contact receives a notification and must actively confirm, via the secure portal, that they have independent reason to believe you are deceased or incapacitated.
An official death certificate or equivalent notarised document must be submitted to compliance@sucesio.io. A member of the Sucesio compliance team manually verifies the document before access is enabled.
Asset information will only be made accessible after successful submission and manual verification of an official death certificate (or equivalent document recognised by the competent authority in the jurisdiction of death). Sucesio reserves the right to request additional supporting documentation. The Company will not proceed on the basis of unverified reports alone.
We protect your data with AES-256 encryption at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit. All data is hosted within the European Economic Area. For full technical details, see our Security page and our Privacy Policy.
Despite these measures, no system is completely secure. You use the Platform at your own risk as regards the adequacy of any security measures for your specific circumstances. We do not warrant the Platform is immune to all threats.
We will never sell your data. We do not share it with advertisers. Our only sub-processors are Supabase (EU database), Resend (transactional email), and Stripe (payments). All operate under GDPR-compliant data processing agreements.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:
All Platform content, software, interfaces, and technology are owned by the Company or its licensors and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works without prior written consent.
Your content is yours. You retain full ownership of all content you upload or create within the Platform. You grant us a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to process and store your content solely for the purpose of providing the Platform services to you.
These Terms are governed by the laws of Luxembourg (subject to mandatory consumer law provisions in your country of residence, which always apply). Any dispute is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Luxembourg, without prejudice to your rights as a consumer under applicable local law.
EU consumers may also use the EU Online Dispute Resolution platform: ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr
UK consumers retain all rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and applicable ADR regulations. We will provide details of the applicable UK ADR body upon request.
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by email at least 30 days before they take effect. Continued use of the Platform after that date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not accept the updated Terms, you may terminate your account before the changes take effect.

The Platform and all content stored within it — including asset lists, heir designations, personal messages, and organisational instructions — have no legal effect under the succession law of any jurisdiction. They do not constitute a will, codicil, testamentary disposition, trust, power of attorney, advance directive, or any other legally recognised succession instrument.
14.1 — Forced heirship rules apply regardless of Platform instructions. In many jurisdictions where Sucesio operates, mandatory succession rules protect certain heirs regardless of the deceased's wishes. These include, without limitation: the réserve héréditaire (France, Belgium, Luxembourg), the legítima (Spain), the Pflichtteil (Germany, Austria), legal shares (Ireland), and forced heirship provisions under Dutch, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, and Finnish law. Sucesio cannot override these rules. Instructions stored on the Platform that conflict with mandatory heirship rights will not be enforceable against protected heirs.
14.2 — Lex situs for immovable property. The law applicable to the succession of real property and land is determined by the law of the country where the property is situated (lex situs), regardless of what is specified in the Platform or in any will. Under EU Succession Regulation 650/2012, the general connecting factor for movable assets is the last habitual residence of the deceased. The United Kingdom, Ireland, and Denmark are not bound by this Regulation and apply their own national rules. Sucesio does not determine, apply, or advise on which law governs your succession.
14.3 — No legal, tax, or financial advice. Nothing in the Platform, its documentation, or any communication from Sucesio constitutes legal, tax, notarial, or financial advice. The Company is not a law firm, notarial practice, financial institution, or regulated adviser in any jurisdiction.
14.4 — User's sole responsibility. You are solely and entirely responsible for: (a) ensuring that your estate is managed in accordance with applicable succession law; (b) engaging qualified legal professionals (notary, solicitor, avocat, abogado, notaris) to prepare a valid will and estate plan; (c) ensuring the accuracy, completeness, and currency of information stored on the Platform; and (d) communicating your wishes to your heirs and legal representatives directly.
14.5 — Export documents. Every PDF or document exported from the Platform carries a mandatory disclaimer that it is an organisational document only and is not a legal instrument. This disclaimer cannot be removed or overridden.
14.6 — Professional counsel strongly recommended. Cross-border succession — particularly for expatriates holding assets in multiple countries — involves complex and sometimes conflicting legal regimes. We strongly recommend that every user engage a qualified notary or estate lawyer in each country where they hold significant assets before relying on any organisational plan.
