Digital Assets After Death

Much of what you own and treasure now lives behind a login screen — and the law of wills was built for things you can hold.

This guide explains why executors get locked out of digital lives, why logging in with the deceased's password is actually unlawful, and the free twenty-minute fix: legacy settings for Apple, Google and Facebook, set up step by step. It covers crypto and online-only accounts that vanish without a trace, how to build a digital inventory safely (what and where — never the passwords), and the clauses your will needs.

• The four kinds of digital asset — and which die with you
• Apple, Google and Facebook legacy tools, step by step
• Crypto: the asset class that can be destroyed by poor planning
• A safe digital inventory, plus the will clauses to match
