Accessing the Vault is straightforward β€” but strictly controlled to ensure security and privacy. Here's how your nominated Executor can access the Vault after your death:

  2. Verification by MuslimWills: The Executor must:
    • Provide evidence of your death (e.g., death certificate),
    • Provide the access code found in your Will (before the Annexure), and
    • Submit their photo ID to confirm they are the appointed Executor.

Access Granted: Upon successful verification, MuslimWills will guide the Executor to access the Vault and manage your estate as instructed.
