Digital Estate Management Made Easy
Looking after your digital persona
As the world moves more and more online, the question of what happens to our social media accounts after our death becomes more and more relevant. Although it may sound morbid, planning for the eventuality of death is a practical step that we all need to consider.
Most social media platforms have policies in place regarding what happens to user accounts after people pass away. For example, Facebook allows a designated “legacy contact” to access the deceased’s account, allowing them to post memorial messages, update profile pictures, and even delete the account entirely. Other, on the other hand, do not allow any access to a deceased user’s account, instead deleting it after a period of inactivity.
It is important to remember that whatever happens to your social media accounts after your death is entirely up to you. Many people choose to leave their accounts as is, with messages and posts as a lasting legacy. Others choose to have their accounts removed, while some opt to have their accounts memorialized and managed by a others.
No matter what you choose to do with your social media accounts after your death, it is important to make sure that you have a plan in place. This will help ensure that your wishes are respected,

About Us
We provide services across a range of highly sensitive areas, that require discretion and effective solutions. Our approach is secure and being driven by individuals, stands apart for the Web.
We have adopted a low key approach balancing awareness, sensitivity and authenticity.
Having worked in many sensitive areas – Legal | Audit | Risk | Government Policy – we have always valued the trust placed in us. We currently work across many ASX and large private organisations through audit and whistleblower services. Having informally provided digital estate service over a number of years, we decided to offer this service more broadly.
As the online world becomes more extensive, with our digital footprints expanding and the Web being more sophisticated, we have develop client specific solutions that align to their lifestyle and digital configuration to implement their will. We find that our client digital life has expanded and their lives become more complicated, requiring a thorough audit of their digital persona. This can be complicated by program settings and service providers changes.
Over a time we can align our client’s digital profile through a programmed digital hygiene.
Given our experience in law – Succession | Intellectual Property | Commercial – we can work with your lawyers. There are numerous high profile cases where poor estate planning and lack of planning for a digital estate have compromised the directives of the testator. The ongoing battles can last for years and undermine the objectives that have been established.
With a more complicated environment, specialised support is required to ensure that your expectations are met in the online world. With some forward planning this can be readily achieved. In the difficult period after your death, there is a need for an independent service to implement the initial responses – in memoriam | email notification to your selected contacts | securing accounts and services.
We can ensure that there a no complications with your online persona and that your Will is achieved in the online world.
