Voice Messages — The Words Your Family Will Want to Hear
Some things are easier to say out loud. VoiceWill lets you record private voice messages for the people you love and keep them safely beside your estate documents, ready to be shared on the day, birthday, or moment you choose.
How voice messages work in VoiceWill
While Vera guides you through your plan, you can pause anytime to record a short voice message — for a spouse, a child, a grandchild, or a friend. Each recording is stored privately in your vault, transcribed automatically, and tagged with the recipient and the moment you'd like it delivered.
Why families treasure them
- Tone of voice carries meaning that written words cannot.
- Easier than writing. Most people can speak warmly long before they can write a polished letter.
- Personal and private. Recordings stay with your estate, shared only when you say so.
- Pairs with the legacy letter. Some words belong on the page; others belong in your voice.
What you can record
- Birthday messages for future milestones
- The story behind a specific bequest
- An apology, a thank-you, or an "I'm proud of you"
- Wisdom you want a grandchild to hear in your own voice
- Your wishes for the people who'll grieve you
Private, secure, yours
All recordings are encrypted at rest and tied to your account. Nothing is shared until you authorize a delivery contact. Read more about how VoiceWill protects your data or learn about the written legacy letter that pairs with your recordings.
Frequently asked questions
How long can a voice message be?
Messages can be up to 15 minutes each. You can record as many as you want.
Can I re-record a message later?
Yes. Open it, listen back, and replace it any time your perspective changes.
Who can hear my recordings?
Only you, until you designate a delivery contact and a release moment. Nothing is shared automatically.
Is this the same as a legacy letter?
They complement each other. The legacy letter is a written ethical will. Voice messages capture the warmth, tone, and personality of your spoken words.
Are voice messages legally binding?
No. Like a legacy letter, voice messages are personal — they sit alongside your formal will, trust, and directives but do not replace them.
