Trustees

We recommend inviting people you really trust as your trustee. This could be a family member or a really close friend. Trustees are essential as they will be the ones delegating your messages to your intended recipient.

You can have up to 2 trustees. We recommend 2. This will ensure your messages will be delivered if something were to happen to the other trustee.

A trustee is a person you have chosen to be responsible for advising Lazarus when you are gone and delegating your messages to your recipients. You can choose up to two trustees.

To remove someone's trustee status, go to My Trustees > Edit > Delete trustee.

Once you are logged into Lazarus, you can add a new trustee on your dashboard, or go to the "My Trustees" tab, and click "Add a trustee". After you have added a trustee, they will receive an invitation email to confirm whether they want to accept this responsibility or not.
