What Happens to Your Social Media Accounts When You Die? 📱

Most of us think about bank accounts, property, and important documents when planning for the future — but what about your digital life?

Social media accounts, email accounts, photos, cloud storage, and other online profiles do not simply disappear when someone passes away. Depending on the platform, an account may be memorialized, deleted, or managed by someone the user previously designated.

That is why digital assets should be part of your estate planning conversations too.

A few things to consider:

• Who should have access to important online accounts?

• Do you want certain social media profiles deleted or memorialized?

• Where are important digital photos, files, and documents stored?

• Have you left clear instructions for your family or Personal Representative?

Your online presence is part of your legacy too. Taking a little time to plan ahead can save your loved ones confusion and frustration later.
