In the Event of My Demise: Digital Estate Planning for the Whole Family

Have you ever received an email from a dead relative? It happens when spammers take over email and social media accounts of deceased contacts. It’s just as frustrating as it is creepy if you don’t have the means to access the account and stop the hack. Digital estate planning is essential today for both digital immigrants and digital natives alike. Do you have a Digital Executor? You should and so should the rest of your family. When a friend or loved one pass, they leave behind a digital trail of email, social media, online storage, websites, gaming accounts, and intellectual property. Some of this digital property has monetary value, and some of it is their legacy; good and bad. Put your defender skills to good use and protect you and your loved ones’ digital assets through administrative, technical, and physical controls.
