Digital Access After Death

Have you reached that age when you're considering a will or even have one? Did you consider your digital world? Many people don't and when it comes time for their heirs to poke around your files, they may never be able to access all the info they'll need to process the estate.

Naturally there are services out there that can help. All you have to do is google "digital account help" and a bunch will pop up.

Yet essentially it gets down to something simple. Make sure all your assets have a clear and easy to find road map. Sometimes drawing up that map may be difficult, so the frugal Yankee suggests you start keeping track of everything in a small notebook. Then transfer all that information into a document. Another trick is to have a special place on your computer for all passwords and accounts. As you change their particulars, change it in your 'special place' as well.

Perhaps you have some tips you'd like to share on this topic? Please do.
