What Happens After I Die – 2.0

Posted on | February 28, 2010 | No Comments

By now most people are sufficiently entangled with the internet – they have an Ebay account, shop on Amazon, check their bank account online, and are members of a few social networking sites as well. What happens to those accounts after you pass away? A myriad number of startups are promising to tidy up your online presence.

“At least three companies — AssetLock.net, Legacy Locker, and the charmingly named Deathswitch.com — have arisen to keep customers’ passwords, usernames, final messages, and so on in a virtual safe-deposit box. After you’re gone, these companies carry out last wishes, alert friends, give account access to various designated beneficiaries, and generally parse out and pass on your online assets.” Check out more here.

No attorney/client relationship has been formed between the California Probate Center and you by your use of this blog. It is not reasonable to rely on general legal information as a substitute for the personal face to face counsel of an attorney regarding the specific facts of your case. Likewise, do not use the comment system to obtain legal advice. The comment system is designed for feedback regarding topics of general interest to the community, not the specific facts of your case, and therefore the California Probate Center will not establish an attorney/client relationship through that system. Such comments may be ignored and you will not receive a timely response, therefore jeopardizing your rights (triggering the loss of money or property), so do not use the system for that purpose. The information on this site should not be considered wholly accurate. For example, it may become outdated, may or may not be updated, and is not nearly comprehensive enough to protect your rights on a case by case basis.
