Plan with clarity and calm

Digital legacy planning is the process of documenting your online accounts, digital assets, access instructions, and wishes so they can be managed appropriately if you become incapacitated or die.

Many platforms have different rules, and important records may be locked behind devices, passwords, or multi-factor authentication. A plan helps reduce delays, confusion, and preventable loss.

A useful inventory can include account names, categories, where records are stored, who should be contacted, and what actions should be taken for each account.

Not always. Access depends on platform policies, legal authority, and the information available. Planning ahead can make the process much smoother for the people you trust.

The best time is before there is any urgent need. Starting early gives you time to organize accounts, review priorities, and update your plan as your digital life changes.
