Dead Man's Switch: Ensure safe transfer of your portfolio to your family if something happens to you

In Kubera, you can nominate someone as your Emergency Contact. E.g. your spouse.

Kubera’s automated Life Beat Check workflow ensures your account stays active and your portfolio data reaches the right person if needed.

Here’s how it works:

If you are inactive for a certain number of days (90 days by default), you will receive a Check-In email asking if you are OK.

You can reset the timer and mark yourself as active by clicking the green Check-In button in the email—quick and convenient, no login required.

If there’s no response after 5 notifications sent over 10 days, Kubera will automatically send your Emergency Contact an email with all your data and documents in Kubera—packaged as a downloadable Excel and ZIP file. The download link will remain valid for 3 months.

Your Emergency Contact will receive up to 5 reminder emails over 10 days if they don’t download the information.

Optionally, you can also nominate a Backup Contact —a trusted friend or relative—to receive the email if your Emergency Contact doesn’t respond.
