With all this talk about your creating your estate plan, what’s one to do about all of your accounts online, like email?
Time Magazine recently printed an article about people’s email accounts after they’ve passed away. Family members try to get into the deceased’s Facebook or email accounts, trying to preserve such communications. Often times, the email providers will send family members a CD of the deceased’s email on a CD, if shown proof of death & relationship.
There are several service providers that will store your passwords for you (securely, or course) and disseminate information to those you designate as the beneficiaries, once your death has been confirmed.
