In today’s world, our lives are deeply connected to the digital space. From emails and social media profiles to online banking, cloud storage, and crypto wallets, we manage more online accounts than ever before.
But have you ever stopped to ask: What happens to all of this when you're gone?
The Digital Afterlife Is Real
When someone passes away, their digital accounts don’t just disappear. Many remain active, unattended, or completely inaccessible. Loved ones are often left struggling to recover photos, close accounts, or manage digital finances.
The Risks of No Plan
Without a digital will:
Important memories (like family photos) can be lost forever
Subscriptions may continue charging your bank account
Crypto and investment accounts may become unrecoverable
Email or social media accounts may be hacked or misused
Platform Policies Aren’t Enough
While companies like Facebook offer memorialization and Google provides inactive account managers, these features are often buried in settings or overlooked. And not all platforms have clear policies.
Relying on each company’s process is time-consuming and inconsistent. Your family deserves a smoother way forward.
