A true-to-life walkthrough
One quiet evening with Meera, 41 — start to finish.
01 — The first evening
It starts with one folder.
Meera drags in her will, the apartment deed, her insurance, and the password to the laptop nobody else can open. Each file is encrypted on her device before it leaves. Inktally never sees a thing.

02 — The people
She decides who gets what.
Her sister Priya gets the estate folder. Her lawyer Rohan is named executor. Her daughter Aanya gets a letter, and nothing else — not yet. Every item is wrapped to that person's key alone.

03 — The condition
She decides when.
A dead-man's-switch: if Meera doesn't check in for sixty days, the release begins — with a cooling-off window, so a missed holiday never becomes a mistake. She sets the moment. That's step three.

04 — Arm delivery
One more choice: who holds the key?
Meera signs back in and arms her vault. She can let Inktally temporarily hold the wrapped keys — we'll re-seal them to Priya when the time comes. Or she can name her lawyer Rohan as executor: we store the sealed bytes, but only he can re-seal them. Meera chooses Rohan. Done.

05 — Years later
Nothing happens — until it needs to.
For years, Inktally stays quiet. Then one day the check-ins stop. After the cooling-off window, Rohan signs in, and his device re-seals the keys to Priya. She gets a plain email and simply opens what Meera left her — just her name, her note, and everything she'll need.
