Your Digital Life Doesn't End When You Do

Bank accounts, photos, passwords, smart home devices, and even AI conversations — they all need a plan. Here's how to organize your digital estate so your loved ones aren't left locked out or scrambling.

What Is Digital Estate Planning?

It's the process of organizing your online accounts, digital assets, and instructions so the right people can access — or close — them after you're gone.

📧 Email & Communication

Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, AOL — often the key to resetting every other account.

💰 Financial Accounts

Banking, investments, PayPal, Venmo, credit cards, and cryptocurrency.

📱 Social Media

Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X — and how you want each handled.

☁️ Cloud Storage

Google Drive, iCloud, Dropbox, OneDrive — where your photos and documents live.

🏠 Smart Home & IoT

Smart locks, Ring, Nest, WiFi — the devices that control physical access to your home.

🤖 AI Accounts

ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini — new accounts with personal data and no legacy policies.

Why This Matters Now

The average person has 100+ online accounts. Without a plan, your family may spend months — or years — trying to untangle your digital life, while scammers target your unused accounts.
