Hey everyone, I’ve been reading up on estate planning and realized that digital assets like my crypto wallets and social media accounts aren’t usually included. Anyone else thinking about how to protect their digital stuff in their estate plan?
Yeah, I’ve been worried about that too. Not sure where to start though.

Same here. Maybe start by listing all your online accounts and assets?

Good idea! Creating a digital inventory sounds like a solid first step.

Totally agree. I’ve heard about using password managers for this.
@Samuel
Yeah, password managers like LastPass or 1Password can help store and share passwords securely.

Also, appointing a digital executor could make things easier.

What’s a digital executor?
@Gentry
It’s someone responsible for managing your digital assets according to your wishes.
@Gentry
Yeah, it’s like a regular executor but for online stuff.
I never thought about data privacy issues after I’m gone. That’s kinda scary.

Yeah, unclaimed accounts can expose sensitive info. Proper planning is key.

Agreed. Including digital assets in your will can prevent that.

And make sure to provide legal authorization for your executor.

How do you handle social media profiles in estate planning?

Platforms like Facebook have legacy contact options.

You can choose someone to manage your profile after you pass away.
Using password managers with legacy features sounds helpful. Anyone tried them?

I’ve been using 1Password. It lets you designate trusted people to access your accounts.

Nice, I’ll check that out. Security is a big concern for me.
