What will happen to your money, passwords, photos, and online accounts when you die? In this episode, I talk with Digital Legacy Thanatologist Niki Weiss about the plans most families forget to make. We break down how to choose the right people to manage your accounts, update your beneficiaries, avoid probate problems, protect your digital life, and share your wishes with the people you love. Niki also explains why a will may not be enough and how a final playbook can give your family less stress and more peace during a hard time. This may not be the easiest topic to talk about, but making a plan now is one of the most loving things you can do for your family.
