Keep domains protected if you ever stop managing your account.
Domains often slip into expiration due to missed renewals, lost access, or unexpected life events. Domain Legacy helps prevent accidental loss by keeping domains renewable and instructions visible during periods of uncertainty.
While you're active, nothing changes. We only step in if you stop responding for an extended period.
Choose what should happen to your domains if you're ever unable to manage your account. You can update or disable this anytime.
If there's no activity on your account for the period you choose, we send you a simple email check-in. One click confirms you're okay and keeps everything normal. If you log in, the timer resets automatically.
If you don't respond to check-ins and inactivity continues, we notify the person you've designated. Domains can continue to renew within limits you've chosen. Ownership transfers only occur if legal documentation is provided and verified. Nothing happens automatically without verification.
We send simple, transparent emails. Nothing happens automatically.
You decide in advance which one applies.
We continue renewals within limits you set.
If your designated contact provides legal authority, we can transfer ownership.
If you prefer, domains can follow standard expiration handling.
Two separate roles, with clearly separate permissions.
The person we notify if you become inactive. Designation does not transfer ownership automatically.
Someone who can view your domain summary and instructions to help guide your recipient. No editing, no transfers, no sales.
Domain Legacy is designed to reduce risk, not introduce it. Legal ownership and existing agreements always control.
Domain Legacy is an operational continuity feature. It does not replace a will or trust, and Atom does not determine heirs. Ownership transfers only occur when the recipient provides legal documentation establishing authority.
The details that matter most before you set this up.
No. Domain Legacy does not replace a will, trust, or estate planning.
It is designed as an operational continuity layer, helping prevent domains from being unintentionally lost due to inactivity. Legal ownership, inheritance rights, and asset distribution are governed by applicable law, your will, trust documents, or court orders.
If there is ever a conflict between Domain Legacy instructions and valid legal documentation, legal documentation controls.
Domain Legacy activates only after a period of confirmed inactivity based on the timing you select.
During inactivity monitoring:
If inactivity continues beyond your configured period, protective measures activate, such as notifying your designated contact and continuing renewals based on your selected preferences.
Notification does not automatically transfer ownership.
If your designated recipient seeks ownership transfer, they must provide documentation reasonably sufficient to establish legal authority. This may include court appointments, executor documentation, trust instruments, or other recognized legal proof.
If legal authority cannot be established:
Domain Legacy is designed to protect assets during transition, not bypass legal requirements.
If domains are registered under a business entity, Domain Legacy does not override corporate governance or ownership structures.
If the account holder becomes inactive, notifications may be sent based on configured preferences, but:
Business owners should ensure that internal succession and account access planning are properly documented.
Designated contacts are not automatically charged.
If renewals are configured to continue during inactivity, they will first attempt to use the payment method already on file.
If payment fails, a designated contact may be allowed to provide an alternative payment method solely for renewal purposes. Providing payment:
All renewal payments are subject to standard registrar and registry policies.
Stay in control while you’re active. Add continuity if you’re not.
