Inheritance planning without the probate delay

May 14, 2026 · 8 min read

Most inheritance planning assumes a court will eventually get involved, and that involvement takes time — often months, sometimes years, almost always at a cost to the estate.

StellarNest’s inheritance vault gives a family two independent unlock conditions instead: a time-lock the Owner sets deliberately, and a dead-man switch that trips if the Owner stops checking in. Either condition, combined with guardian approval, releases the vault pro-rata to beneficiaries — no probate calendar in the loop.

This isn’t a replacement for legal advice — the vault has a field for legal notes precisely because families should still involve counsel. It’s a replacement for the idea that a will is the only mechanism available.
