How do you close a deceased person\u2019s Facebook account? There are countless questions that arise when managing a digital legacy.<\/p>\n<p>A loved one\u2019s digital assets are extremely personal (and in some cases incredibly valuable), so it\u2019s important to treat the deceased\u2019s online accounts with the same care and respect that\u2019s offered to financial and physical property.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #13377c;\">What Is a Digital Legacy?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A digital legacy includes all the online accounts, digital assets, and internet profiles that are left behind when a person dies. Some people may only have an email address while others maintain an extensive digital footprint over their lifetime. A digital legacy often contains the following online accounts and profiles:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Email Addresses &#8211; includes personal and work email addresses.<\/li>\n<li>Social Media &#8211; Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, Pinterest, Snapchat, etc.<\/li>\n<li>Communication Apps &#8211; Skype, WhatsApp<\/li>\n<li>Websites and Blogs &#8211; personal\/business websites and licensed domain names<\/li>\n<li>Gaming &#8211; Xbox, Wii, Playstation, ESPN<\/li>\n<li>Financial Services &#8211; banking, trading, 401K (and retirement accounts), PayPal<\/li>\n<li>Entertainment &#8211; Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, Cable TV<\/li>\n<li>Photos, Music, Books &#8211; Shutterfly, Kindle, iTunes, Spotify<\/li>\n<li>Online Shopping &#8211; Amazon, eBay, Craigslist, Etsy<\/li>\n<li>Travel &#8211; Uber, Airbnb, Expedia, airline\/rental car apps<\/li>\n<li>Other &#8211; health\/medical accounts, Listservs, dating profiles, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These are just a few examples of the more well-known digital accounts. The list can go on and on, as new online apps, networks, and services are created every day. Keep in mind that a digital legacy also includes all the login usernames and passwords associated with each online account and profile, and keeping this information safe and secure is vital to managing a loved one\u2019s digital afterlife.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #13377c;\">How To Manage A Digital Legacy<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Creating a digital legacy plan to manage your online accounts is just as important as drafting a will to protect your physical and monetary assets. If you are preplanning a funeral \u2013 or making end of life arrangements for yourself \u2013 adding a digital legacy document should definitely be on the list of things to do.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #13377c;\">Appoint a Digital Executor<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone wp-post-1751 wp-image-1631 size-full\" alt=\"Digital Executor\" width=\"760\" height=\"390\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Select a \u201cdigital executor\u201d who will protect and organize your digital footprint after death. This trusted person is responsible for carrying out the terms set in a will, but their responsibilities can also extend to handling your internet assets (as detailed in a digital legacy document). It helps if the digital executor is tech savvy, but it\u2019s more important that they are organized, knowledgeable, and able to handle sensitive information discreetly.\r\n    <div class=\"single-content-banner\">\r\n                                    <div class=\"single-content-banner__shortcode\">\r\n                            <div class=\"input-search-wrapper input-search-wrapper--bottom\">\r\n            <h2 class=\"title-search\">See funeral home prices in your area<\/h2>\r\n            <div class=\"input-search search-home\">\r\n                <input placeholder=\"Enter your City or ZIP Code\" type=\"search\" class=\"addressMain\">\r\n                <button type=\"submit\" class=\"blue-button\">\r\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.funeralocity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/funeralocity\/dist\/images\/icons\/search-button.svg\">Search\r\n                <\/button>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n            <span class=\"small-text\">Use zip code for more precise search results<\/span>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n                        <\/div>\r\n<\/p>\n<p>The digital executor needs to understand the state laws which govern access to a person\u2019s digital assets. The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.uniformlaws.org\/Act.aspx?title=Fiduciary%20Access%20to%20Digital%20Assets%20Act,%20Revised%20(2015)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Revised Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act<\/a> \u2013 completed by the Uniform Law Commission and currently enacted in over 40 states \u2013 allows fiduciaries or executors to manage digital property like computer files, web domains, and virtual currency. However, the Act restricts access to electronic communications such as email, text messages, and social media accounts unless the original user consented in a will, trust, power of attorney, or other legal record.<\/p>\n<p>If you already have a will, you can add the name of your digital executor and specify where your digital legacy plan is stored. This will allow them to legally access the document after your death. Don\u2019t include account passwords in your will: sensitive information about your digital assets should only be shared with your chosen digital executor, especially because a <a href=\"https:\/\/info.legalzoom.com\/wills-public-records-3727.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">will eventually becomes a matter of public record<\/a> after probate.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #13377c;\">How To Handle The Deceased\u2019s Digital Assets<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Being in charge of your loved one\u2019s digital footprint can be an overwhelming task. It helps if the deceased person left instructions in a digital legacy plan, but if you\u2019re starting from scratch, you should prepare yourself as the process can take months to complete.<\/p>\n<p>You will have to contact each company or organization separately in order to manage your loved one\u2019s online accounts and profiles. Start by creating a list of all known digital assets. You may be able to find some of this information in the will, but might need to ask other family members and\/or close friends for help in compiling the list. The deceased\u2019s employer may also have input on various business accounts and networks that were owned or managed.<\/p>\n<p>Some digital services provide step-by-step instructions on how to close\/cancel online accounts and profiles, but in most cases, information regarding account termination can only be found by reading the \u201cTerms and Conditions\u201d of each individual service. Needless to say, there\u2019s a lot of fine print to wade through. It might be easier to delegate certain tasks to trusted family or friends to ensure that everything is properly taken care of.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not only can it be hard to close out all these assets, software platforms like Instagram, Netflix, Facebook and others change their tools and procedures often, making it hard to provide a clear and updated guide.<\/span><\/p>\r\n    <div class=\"single-content-banner\">\r\n                                    <a href=\"https:\/\/funeralocity.com\/average-funeral-price\" class=\"single-content-banner__image\">\r\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"desktop\" src=\"https:\/\/www.funeralocity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Banner_1_desktop.png\" alt=\"Compare the cost of funerals in your city\">\r\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"tablet\" src=\"https:\/\/www.funeralocity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Banner_1_tablet.png\" alt=\"Compare the cost of funerals in your city\">\r\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"mobile\" src=\"https:\/\/www.funeralocity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Banner_1_mobile.png\" alt=\"Compare the cost of funerals in your city\">\r\n                <\/a>\r\n                        <\/div>\r\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sunsetapp.com\/?utm_source=memoria&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=funeralocity\">Sunset, the automated estate settlement tool, can help with this<\/a>.
