Yes, you will still have access to your tree and any documents etc you've uploaded to you Keepsafe.
You will still be able to send messages to people you've already made contact with, and reply to a new messages sent to you.

You won't be able access any records/census you've paid for. This includes any which appear in your Keepsafe but have 'example' superimposed.
You won't be able to instigate messages to new contacts, or view anyone else's tree even if you had previously.
You won't be able to post on the boards, but you can read them.

If you need to save records, best to download them to your computer while you can!

Hello,

What happens when my account expires, will I still have access to my tree and Keepsafe?

Not able to find this in the FAQ or google.

Thanks for any help.
