Changing the trusted person

During life you can move access to the life file to someone else. You switch on read access for the new person and you remove the old reader. A name that remains on the list still looks invited. Do the switch on one day: new name, new telephone number, old name off, and the date of the switch with it. The new person sees what you switch on, no more than that. The role is reading along for as long as you want that. It is not a power of attorney to act and not a levenstestament. Where a levenstestament is remains a separate line. You do not change that deed by switching a reader in the software. The switch is about reading, not about authority.

At the switch, also look at what the old person has outside the file. A spare key, a sealed password list, a copy of a deed. Ask for the return of what you want back, and write the new keeper in the place where the old name stood. If the old name remains with the key while you have switched the reader, the roles diverge. You do not hand DigiD and other government accounts to the new person and you do not put the login in the file. Those accounts are personal. Passwords stay in the sealed list outside the shared text. The file says only who has that list now, after the switch. You ask for the old envelope back if you can.

Death does not quietly promote the trusted person to heir or executor. Not the old one and not the new one. That someone has read along, or had a key, is not an appointment. An heir and an executor belong in a notarial will. The levenstestament, if there is one, stops at death and is not extended by this switch. Write that boundary in one sentence next to the name, so that a reader does not stretch the role on a later day. Ervazo stores who may read along and does not send that name to a notary or a doctor. Switch the access off when the reason has passed. Switched on without a reason is a circle that is larger than you want. Off, and after that only the new name, is the order.

A life file is a note for later. It is not a will, not a medical instruction and not advice. The switch changes who may read along during life. It appoints no heir and no executor, and it does not let the old reader keep those roles either. That appointment belongs in a notarial will. A codicil has its own, strictly handwritten form and is not this switch. Ervazo does not send the note to a doctor or a notary. Remove the old reader on the day of the switch. What that person read does not make them a successor after death.
