Handover protocol: deliver the right file to the right person, at the right time.

Preparing a file is a good start. Planning how it is handed over, to whom, and under what conditions is what prevents delays and misuse.

THE PROBLEM

Without a protocol, the handover becomes a risk

  • “Who is entitled to receive what?”

  • “When does it get triggered?”

  • “How do you avoid handing it over too early or too broadly?”

  • “What if the trusted person changes?”

What we identify with you

1) Authorized recipients

  • proposed liquidator, representative, family caregivers, professional (according to your choices)

2) Trigger conditions

  • event (e.g., death, incapacity, personal decision)

  • validation (who confirms the event, if required)

3) Content delivered (by levels)

  • “essential” level (contacts, index, access)

  • “complete” level (inventory, documents, consolidated index)

  • exclusions (what must never be handed over without conditions)

4) Handover modalities

  • channel, access, proof of handover, and appropriate security measures

Deliverable: a clear protocol and a review plan

  • Handover protocol (recipients, triggers, content levels, modalities)

  • Review plan (e.g., annual review: “Is this still the right person?”)

Important: the handover is not a legal act in itself

The protocol organizes the transfer of information.
If legal acts are required (e.g., a protection mandate, a will, etc.), they must meet the applicable requirements and be handled within the appropriate framework (professional, separate mandate).
