Clear Rules,

The Registry Rules are the primary authority. Informal statements, marketing material, website copy, or verbal explanations do not override the Rules. Members and prospective members should rely only on published, official documents.

How Decisions Are Made

Decision-Making Process

Discretion is exercised only within the boundaries of the published Registry Rules — no individual can promise outcomes, override the Rules, or create exceptions. Every request follows the same three steps.

01

Eligibility Status

Based on how long you have been a member and compliance with the Registry Rules, following the published support timeline.

02

Compliance & Documentation

Member must be in good standing. Complete and accurate evidence supplied where required.

03

Reserves & Sustainability

Available funds and the long-term health of the pooled framework are considered before any decision is made.

LifeRegistry may request supporting documentation before making a decision. No discretionary decision creates precedent for any future case.

Your Obligations

Member Responsibilities & Good Standing

Member Responsibilities

1

Understanding the Rules

Read the Registry Rules before joining. Refer to them when questions arise. Participation implies agreement.

2

Maintaining Accurate Information

Keep contact details up to date. Inform LifeRegistry of changes. Ensure stored documents are current.

3

Keeping Optional Services Updated

Review stored documents periodically. Update wills or authority documents as circumstances change.

4

Making Informed Decisions

Understand how your support grows over time and how our published rules work, so you always know what to expect.

Our team is always happy to explain how the rules work — if anything's unclear, just ask.

Keeping Your Membership in Good Standing

Following the Registry Rules keeps your membership active and your support on track. If the rules aren't followed, it may lead to:

  • Delayed consideration of requests
  • Reduced or declined discretionary contributions
  • Suspension of membership
  • Cancellation of membership
  • Loss of access to member-only features

All decisions regarding non-compliance are governed by the Rules.

Leaving the Registry

  • Cancel anytime before renewal — no lock-in
  • Full access until your membership period ends
  • Export your Vault documents whenever you like
  • Past contributions stay with the shared fund, still supporting members' families

Your one-time £50 joining fee is a setup fee and isn't refundable; your annual membership renews yearly and you can cancel anytime before renewal.

If Something Arises

Dispute Resolution

Any disputes are handled in accordance with the Registry Rules.

Process

1

Reference the Rules

The published Rules are the starting point for all disputes

2

Formal Review

Request considered against published eligibility criteria

3

Governance Decision

Made strictly in accordance with the framework

4

No Exceptions

Rules apply consistently and equally to all members

Informal assurances or verbal promises do not override the formal governance process.
