Detail
Designation is per asset, not global
You can designate different beneficiaries for different assets: crypto wallet to one adult child, family photos to another, business documents to a business partner. Each designation has its own scope.
Designations are cryptographic, not paper
A traditional beneficiary designation lives on a paper form somewhere. If the form is outdated, contested, or missing, the estate process defaults to unclear. H33 designations are signed artifacts — the current version is always cryptographically determinable.
Updates are audit-logged
Every change to a beneficiary designation emits a signed receipt with timestamp. There is never ambiguity about which designation is current.
Activation is automatic on dormancy
You do not need to file paperwork on your death. Life Validation lapse triggers estate flow automatically. Guardians attest. Beneficiaries receive scoped access with signed receipts.
Contested designations have a cryptographic answer
If two family members claim different designations, the on-chain timestamp is authoritative. There is no 'which piece of paper is more recent' question.
