Arrivio is not a will, estate plan, or legal directive. It is a private platform used to store personal messages, reflections, and instructions intended for delivery after someone passes away. Legal documents determine property distribution, guardianship, and enforceable instructions. Arrivio delivers emotional, explanatory, and personal content that complements, but does not replace, formal legal processes. Users still need legally valid documents for matters involving assets, healthcare decisions, and legally binding directions.
Arrivio is structured specifically for private legacy communication. It allows users to record:
These components are not legally enforceable, but they provide emotional clarity and personal meaning that legal documents do not address. Arrivio is a communication tool, not a legal instrument.
Legal documents must meet specific requirements, such as witnessing, signatures, formal execution, and compliance with relevant laws. They also undergo probate processes and can influence financial and legal outcomes. Arrivio contains no legal authority and is not designed to handle disputes, asset division, power of attorney, or guardianship.
Without a proper legal plan, loved ones may face delays, conflict, or uncertainty that Arrivio alone cannot resolve. Arrivio is not a legal document and does not replace a will, executor, or estate process.
While Arrivio does not perform legal functions, it provides context that legal documents cannot. A user can explain reasoning behind certain decisions, outline personal intentions in their own words, clarify emotional concerns, or provide non-binding guidance that helps family members understand the individual’s wishes. This reduces misinterpretation and helps loved ones navigate the emotional aspects of loss more clearly.
Arrivio trustees do not act as executors. An executor manages formal estate matters, probate, financial obligations, and legal instructions. A trustee in Arrivio only delivers the user’s recorded messages. The roles are separate, and the trustee cannot use Arrivio content to override an estate plan. This separation protects the clarity of both processes.
Individuals should maintain valid wills, powers of attorney, and other estate documents prepared according to local legal requirements. Arrivio operates outside these frameworks, offering emotional communication rather than enforceable directions. Together, legal documents manage practical responsibilities, while Arrivio preserves the user’s personal voice and meaning for their loved ones.
