Protecting your digital assets after death

[Lynnrose]

I thought this was an interesting article
Legacy Locker seems to be a worthwhile option. I haven't looked yet to see how much it would cost.
Have any of you done any preperation so that your loved ones are able to sort out your online life eg. banking etc if the worst was to happen to you?

I wouldn't have even thought the following would be allowed....
"As might be expected, policies vary from company to company. E-mail providers will often give up the deceased's password on receipt of a death certificate from the family."

I have pondered on how my online friends would know. I told my son my email password ages ago; I know he hasn't used it, perhaps I should write it down somewhere. Fortunately, he is a member of some of the same groups that I belong to, so could use that method of telling people.

I don't think I have any online finances that can't be unravelled offline.

There is also this option, a Lifebook
It is from Age Concern, but I don't think it matters what age you are, but when you ring up, they might ask you and if you apply online, the same thing maybe, so perhaps you have to be at least at retirement age?

I am old enough to qualify, but I really have my doubts about letting the organisation have sensitive details. I do trust Age Concern and Help the Aged with some things, but I think I could make my own book up anyway and not risk an organisaiton that is strapped for cash selling it on.
