A new digital service has launched in the UK providing a secure way for people to organise, protect and pass on their financial information and personal memories to loved ones after they pass away.
Legacy Hub was created by wealth management specialist David Alexander in response to the difficulties families frequently face when a loved one dies without clear records, often resulting in prolonged stress, financial uncertainty and missed assets.
Figures suggest that as much as £80 billion in assets remains unclaimed across the UK due to missing documentation and inaccessible records. Legacy Hub addresses this issue by offering a highly secure digital vault where users can store unlimited information, including savings, investments, insurance details, photographs, videos, personal messages and funeral wishes.
As part of its launch strategy, Legacy Hub has partnered with a number of charities. Supporters of each partner organisation will receive a reduced subscription rate, while the company commits to donating 10 per cent of subscription revenue back to those charities.
Founder David Alexander said: “We plan weddings, birthdays and holidays in meticulous detail, yet when it comes to death, many people avoid the conversation altogether. That silence often leaves families facing confusion and distress at an already difficult time.
“Legacy Hub helps people take control of what they leave behind. Not just the paperwork, but the memories and messages that give families comfort and clarity when they need it most.
“British culture has traditionally avoided conversations about death, but this is changing. Planning for the future should be seen not as something morbid, but as an act of responsibility and care.
“That’s why we created a secure digital vault that makes end-of-life planning less stressful for families. We hope Legacy Hub will ease both the financial and emotional burden that can come with bereavement.
“Our charity partnerships are central to our purpose. By supporting organisations that help families through illness, loss and some of life’s most challenging moments, we are creating a meaningful circle of support helping users prepare for the future while generating vital funds for charities making a difference.”
Alexander, who is 59 and has spent decades working with high-profile wealth management clients, has received backing from notable public figures including Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason and model and influencer Lottie Tomlinson, the sister of former One Direction star Louis Tomlinson.
Nick Mason said: “Avoiding conversations about death does not protect us. It often leaves people unprepared and unsure of what to do. Sometimes, it is simply about making sure loved ones know what to look for.”
Lottie Tomlinson added: “Planning for the future and sharing your wishes is incredibly important. A platform like Legacy Hub makes it easy to store those wishes so your family know exactly what you want. That can make a huge difference at an already emotional time.”
Legacy Hub is available through a range of flexible plans, costing £5.99 per month, £50 per year, or £249 for lifetime access, with the option to purchase a subscription as a gift.
