BePrepared is a secure, white-labelled digital vault platform for estate planning and private client law firms (Melbourne, Australia, 2-10 employees). CEO: Dylan O’Brien (interviewed by Today’s Wills and Probate). SOC 2 Type II certified with military-grade encryption. Helps firms securely capture, store, and transfer digital assets (cryptocurrency, passwords, important documents). Features automated client check-ins prompting document updates and review scheduling — keeps clients engaged post-engagement and generates leads (per Monan Gozzett case study). White-label means firms brand the vault as their own — ‘sits alongside your existing estate planning process, no workflow changes, no technical setup’ per homepage. Named customers: Monan Gozzett law firm (case study on lead generation), ELM Legal (30,000+ clients across England and Wales per LinkedIn post). Partnership with Arken.legal (‘Arken Vault’ — claims 10x faster estate handling). Texas Estate Plans uses BePrepared™ Digital Vault for trust funding documentation. Claims ‘thousands of estate planners’ use platform (not independently verified). Covered by The Legal Wire AI (Dec 2025) and Today’s Wills and Probate. Uses eWebinar for sales demos. Exclusively for estate planning/private client practices — not applicable to litigation, corporate, or other practice areas. Competitive landscape for digital estate vaults is nascent — few direct competitors identified. IMPORTANT: Multiple unrelated ‘BePrepared’ apps exist (medical disaster response from Katholische Fachhochschule, Arabic vocabulary tool) — must not conflate.

Workflows

Based on practitioner evidence, BePrepared is used in these workflows:

What practitioners struggle with

Real frustrations from legal professionals — the problems BePrepared addresses (or should address). Sourced from practitioner reviews, Reddit threads, and case studies.

Signed contracts vanish into email threads and shared drives — when a dispute arises, nobody can find the executed version

Document Review & Management 96 vendors affected In-house counsel · Legal ops · Small firm (2–10) · Mid-size firm (11–50)

Client calls asking 'what's happening with my case?' — paralegal has to interrupt the attorney because matter status lives in someone's head, not a system

Communication & Collaboration 61 vendors affected Solo practitioner · Small firm (2–10) · small-firm · Government

Documents scattered across email, shared drives, attorney desktops, and filing cabinets — paralegal can't find the key document when it's needed for court or a deposition

Document Review & Management 75 vendors affected Solo practitioner · Small firm (2–10) · Mid-size firm (11–50) · Large firm (51–200)
