adeus True Gifts

Leave the things that matter to the people who matter

Some things deserve more than a line in a Will. True Gifts lets you leave a treasured item to a named loved one, with your own words attached, sealed like a letter in an envelope and opened only by the person it's meant for.

A Will carries the instruction. True Gifts carries the heart behind it.

The watch that belonged to your father. A piece of jewellery with a story only you know. These things carry emotional weight no legal clause can hold. True Gifts records the item, the recipient and your personal message, all in one place, kept safe until exactly the right moment.

What's in a True Gift

Everything that makes a gift
feel complete

Each True Gift is a private, personal record you create in a few minutes. There's no limit to how many you make, so you can use them for as many items and people as you like.

A description of the item

What it is, where it came from, and any details that give it context and meaning.

The recipient

The named individual you'd like to receive it, when the time is right.

A personal message

Your own words to accompany the gift, the story and the reason behind it.

Supporting files

Optional photos, receipts, valuations or certificates that make the gift feel whole.

Two ways to use it

Leave a gift, keep a record,
or do both

True Gifts works in two ways. Many people name a recipient for some items and use it as a private inventory for others. You can mix and match however suits you.

Leave a gift
A specific item for a named person

Record the item, name who should receive it, and add a personal message and any files. When the time comes, your Executor confirms it's available and releases it. The recipient gets a secure private link, no adeus account needed.

Keep a record
A private inventory of your valuables

Document what you own, with photos, receipts and valuations, without naming a recipient. Like an insurance inventory held safely in your Digital Vault, it helps your Executor identify, locate and value items accurately.

How it works

Fully guided,
and done in minutes

No legal knowledge or technical experience needed. The process is fully guided, with straightforward questions walking you through each step.

Most people create a True Gift in just a few minutes
Create your True Gift

Answer a few simple questions to record the item, name a recipient if you wish, and add your message and files.

Sealed in your Vault

Your True Gift is securely sealed and stored in your adeus Digital Vault. Review, update or remove it any time.

Released when it's time

Your Executor confirms the item is available, then the recipient receives a secure private link to all you left them.

Private & secure

Sealed like a letter,
protected like a vault

True Gifts is built on Smart Contract technology. Once created, the record is secure, private and tamper-proof, with an immutable audit trail that gives you and your loved ones complete confidence.

Yours alone, in your lifetime

Your gifts and records are private and can only be accessed by you while you're alive. No one else can view them.

Tamper-proof and permanent

No one can alter or access the contents without the proper authorisation at the right time. Your wishes stay exactly as you left them.

Released only when it's right

Nothing is released automatically. Your Executor reviews each gift and confirms availability before it reaches the recipient.

Clarity for your family

A clear, accurate picture of your possessions helps your Executor administer your estate and supports Inheritance Tax calculations.
