What happens to the digital, social media, online, email you when the real you is no longer alive? I urge each one of you to look at the issue closely.
Roughly half of the states have passed a version of what is called the Uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act. It is an attempt by the states to have a more or less uniform set of laws to allow you --- through your personal representative/executor, trustee or even a person who acts for you under a guardianship/conservatorship or a power of attorney while you're still alive -- to have someone be able to manage, remove and protect your digital self.
As you do your estate planning (and, by that I mean basic things like wills and powers of attorney, nothing fancy, and if you haven't done that -- do it because your family will thank you over and over for it, trust me) or if you need to review or update your estate planning documents, make sure and ask your lawyer about this.
Think about it: Facebook accounts, Instagram, Twitter, emails, SermonIndex(!) accounts, the works -- all that lives on and is basically adrift in the online sea without anyone empowered to do anything with it. I know people who did not leave a password for family to reach their accounts, died unexpectedly or just died without thinking of this, and those accounts just linger. That can be good, it can be a negative sometimes for emotions and all, but it can be a treasure trove of personal or private information that is just...out there, alone, untouchable and vulnerable to hackers and data thieves.
Pray about it, do what you think best.
Love you guys.
