So much of our lives now take place in the digital domain. We take all of our photos on our phones. We pay our bills online. It is increasingly more vital than ever to have a serious conversation about how our digital “life” will be taken care of and passed along when the time comes. A little preparation can go a long way to a smooth transition upon our moving on from this life. Your heirs will appreciate it.

There are three major parts to consider:

Your Digital Legacy: This is your online presence, and includes social media accounts (i.e., Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn), blogs, and email accounts.

Your Digital Assets: Your information holding accounts. This includes your digital photos, downloaded music, documents on your computer, and seller accounts (i.e., Amazon, eBay, Etsy). It can also include frequent flyer miles and other loyalty programs.

Management of your Digital Financial life: Managing your money online. This includes access to investment portfolios, bank accounts, Any auto-billing of payments, and/or accounts with individual payees (credit cards, utilities, cable, internet).
