Planning for Your Digital Afterlife

What happens to your digital assets -
email, Twitter, Facebook, blog, and
other online accounts -
when you die?

Your email account. Facebook. Twitter. Blog. Online photos. PayPal.

If you're like most of America's population, you're online...a lot.

Do you have a password to access your Laptop? iPhone? BlackBerry? iPad?

Do you bank online? Have you elected to "go paperless" for your mortgage, auto insurance or other financial accounts?

So what happens to all of these "digital assets" when you die? The short answer for now may very well be nothing unless you plan a way in advance for your executor or personal representative to identify them and gain access.

From National Public Radio (NPR) to the Washington Post, to the New York Times, there's been a lot of publicity lately about the importance of protecting your digital assets. We at Executor's Resource applaud those who are bringing this topic into a mainstream discussion forum. The chaos that ensues when a loved one passes has gone under the radar screen for too long.

Since 2008, we've been providing a valuable service to those who subscribe to EstateLogic®:

1. We help create an inventory of all of life's important information, both physical and digital
2. We store it for safekeeping and continued access in a state-of-the-art data center, and
3. We facilitate the transfer of this information to the loved one who'll be settling the estate.

In this day of online bill paying, going paperless, and social media, your executor or personal representative (typically a close family member or friend) will need a place to start. We are proud to be in the business that we're in - helping people capture their wishes for all they hold dear.

If you haven't already, take a brief tour of our service and give it a try. We'd love to know what you think.
