It is vital to be as specific and detailed as possible while we prepare for the unthinkable yet the inevitable. To get started, here are 7 Digital Estate items you can take care of in less than an hour!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Designate a digital executor (and leave instructions!) <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You may be thinking what is a digital executor<\/a>? Well, It is someone you assign in your will to handle everything regarding your digital estate<\/a> when you pass away. This person handles everything from cancelling automated payments to closing social media accounts. Leaving detailed instructions for what accounts you want to deleted to who gains access to your photos and documents becomes a simple process with Easeenet’s Legacy Worksheet and Legacy Contact system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Set up your Google Inactive Account Manager<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An Inactive Account Manager is a way for users to share parts of their account data or notify someone if they\u2019ve been inactive for between three months and 18 months. Google monitors your last sign-ins, your recent activity in My Activity, usage of Gmail (e.g., the Gmail app on your phone), and Android check-ins and determines when you have been inactive. Deleting your Google Account will affect all products associated with that account<\/strong> (e.g., Blogger, AdSense, Gmail), and will affect each product differently. Your designated contact will only receive notification once your account has been inactive for the specified amount of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Assign a Facebook Legacy Contact<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The social media site with the most end-of-life preparation options today is Facebook, which allows you to designate a legacy contact. When Facebook becomes aware that you\u2019ve passed away, your account will automatically become Memorialized, which changes your name to reflect that your page is \u201cremembering\u201d you, and no one can log in directly to your account. Your named legacy contact will be able to make certain changes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
