# Detailed Guardians Emergency Asset Withdrawal and Distribution Start

* Guardian **#1** sends a transaction initiating an emergency withdrawal and distribution.
* Guardians **#2, #3, and #4** send transactions confirming the emergency withdrawal.
* **4 of 7 Guardians threshold** reached; a **5-day timeout** begins.
* As the contract Owner, you may send a transaction to **cancel** during this 5-day period.
* Alternatively, **2 of 3 Recovery addresses** may also send transactions to cancel during this period.
* You **do not cancel** within the 5-day timeout.
* After the 5-day timeout expires, neither the Owner nor Recovery addresses can cancel.
* After expiration, any Guardian automatically retrieves wallet and ERC20 address data, decrypting it with their private encryption keys.
* Any Guardian sends a transaction transferring **all assets** from wallets to the CryptoLegacy contract.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.cryptolegacy.app/detailed-flows/detailed-guardians-emergency-asset-withdrawal-and-distribution-start.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
