The Digital Inheritance Plan
Managing what happens to your digital identity and data after you pass away.
THE NEED
In 2026, our digital lives are as valuable as our physical ones. Without a plan, your family could be locked out of years of photos, documents, and financial accounts.
STEPS
1. Legacy Contacts: Both Apple and Google now allow you to designate a 'Legacy Contact' who can access your account after you pass away.
2. Digital Vaults: Store your master password for your password manager in a physical safe or with a legal representative.
3. Social Media Memorials: Decide now if you want your accounts deleted or 'Memorialized' (locked in a static state) after you are gone.
