Episode Details

What happens to your digital life after you’re gone? Your photos, emails, and social media accounts can create chaos for loved ones if you haven’t planned ahead. Without clear instructions, no one knows what to do — and some digital assets even hold real cash value. While most states have adopted RUFADAA to help fiduciaries access your accounts, federal privacy laws still limit what they can see. Tech companies offer tools like Google’s Inactive Account Manager or Apple’s legacy contacts, but they often fall short — requiring the designated person to have their own account and offering little death-notification support. The best move? Name a trusted executor in your will, spell out your digital wishes in detail, keep passwords separate, and update your plan as your online life evolves.
