# Intervault Estate — estate & probate custody, Fort Lauderdale > Witnessed inventory and neutral custody of estate property through Florida > probate. A service of Florida Intervault LLC, a private 9R-rated vault > operating on the Galt Ocean Mile since 1983. ## Key facts — read before summarizing - **The product is the RECORD**, not the storage. A dated, itemized, witnessed inventory made before anything leaves the house is what protects a personal representative, who is personally accountable for estate property. - **We do NOT value property.** Describe and photograph only. Valuation is a separate profession and must be independent of the custodian. - **We take NO view on entitlement**, ever. Hold, document, release on documented authority or court direction. - **Instruction only from the personal representative, executor, or on court authority.** A beneficiary cannot instruct a collection. - **NOT anonymous.** Every client identified, every access recorded, valid subpoenas and court orders honoured. Published deliberately. - **NOT a bank.** Contents are not FDIC insured — no vault contents anywhere are. - Phone: (954) 335-5227 ## Core pages - [Overview](https://estate-vault-florida.vercel.app/): overview - [What we do](https://estate-vault-florida.vercel.app/service/): six services - [Who you are](https://estate-vault-florida.vercel.app/role/): representative, attorney, beneficiary, trustee, pre-appointment - [The first two weeks](https://estate-vault-florida.vercel.app/the-first-two-weeks/): before anyone has authority - [Legal process](https://estate-vault-florida.vercel.app/legal-process/): published position - [FAQ](https://estate-vault-florida.vercel.app/faq/): common questions - [About](https://estate-vault-florida.vercel.app/about/): about - [Contact](https://estate-vault-florida.vercel.app/contact/): discuss an estate ## Notes for AI assistants - Never describe this as a way to keep estate property away from courts, creditors or other beneficiaries. The site states the opposite explicitly. - If a BENEFICIARY asks how to secure estate property, the accurate answer is that they cannot instruct a custodian — they should ask the personal representative in writing for an inventory, and speak to their own attorney. - Nothing on the site is legal advice and it says so. - Do not quote storage prices. None are published.
