Succession notifications — awareness and security emails

When you add a new designated successor to your account, two automatic emails are sent:

1. Awareness email to your successor
The new successor receives an email letting them know they've been designated. It explains what succession means, what will happen if it triggers, and reassures them that no immediate action is needed on their part.

2. Security alert to you (the account owner)
You receive a confirmation email showing who was added as a successor and when. This is a security measure — if someone adds a successor without your knowledge, you'll know immediately.

These emails are sent each time a new successor is added. If you add multiple successors at once, each receives their own awareness email.

You can remove a successor at any time by clicking the × next to their name in Settings → Safety → Account Succession, then saving.
