Teleskop's vault is uses zero knowledge encryption to secure your documents. That makes it fit to store important documents related to my assets as well as general documents. This could be a Will, a lasting power of attorney or letters to loved ones.

Please note that in most countries only the physical copy of the Will is an enforceable document. So, when you store it in the Teleskop vault, make sure to keep a note that describes where the physical copy of the will is stored.
