In today's digital age, we leave behind more than just memories - we leave behind digital footprints. From social media profiles and cloud-stored photos to monetized content and cryptocurrency, your digital legacy holds both sentimental and economic value. But what happens to these assets after death?

While inheritance laws govern physical property, digital legacies remain largely undefined. Without a plan, your loved ones may struggle to access important data or personal memories. Experts suggest creating a digital will - listing accounts, passwords, and instructions on what to delete, keep, or share.

You can also use features like Facebook's Legacy Contact or Google's Inactive Account Manager to manage posthumous access. As debates around digital rights and AI avatars grow, planning your digital legacy is not just wise - it's essential.

A secure digital afterlife starts with awareness and action. Don't let your online life vanish - or fall into the wrong hands - after you're gone.
