Plain answers, kept where you can find them.

No. The youngest useful moment to start a vestry is the moment anyone depends on you. Most early members are in their thirties.

The first useful pass is about forty minutes. Most people spread setup over a few evenings. Progress saves automatically and we email you the next prompt.

No. Your documents are encrypted on your device before they reach our servers. We hold ciphertext only.

Only the people you invite, and only to the rooms you grant them. Every view is logged with a timestamp and reported back to you.

We can only provide encrypted data; decryption is impossible from our side. Beginning Q1 2027, we will publish transparency reports describing the volume and outcomes of any such requests.

Your named stewards are notified. Each one receives access only to the rooms you have assigned them — never more.

Yes, anytime. You can set expirations, partial access, and trigger-based rules. Major changes use a two-key confirmation.

Stewards receive printed instructions and a guided first-time experience. The product is designed to be readable by people who have never opened it before.

Your documents are yours. You can export everything as encrypted PDFs and a plain-text register. There is no penalty and no friction.

Existing members keep the rate at which they joined. Price changes apply only to new members.

No — Vestry is not a law firm. Attorney review sessions included on Household and Legacy plans constitute actual legal guidance from a licensed attorney in your state.
