To allow executors, trustees, or the person appointed by court ("conservator" or "fiduciary") complete access to deceased's digital assets.
This would supersede a site's current terms of service, forcing sites like Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin and Google to grant access, which is something they don't currently allow. The only way a person can prevent an Executor (or “fiduciary”) from accessing any or all of their online accounts is if they specifically state something to that effect in ...
This is a long time coming and a step in the right direction. Digital assets, including email, photos, and entertainment like music, books and movies, have been a part of our lives for a generation. Yet there's still no easy way to handle these accounts when someone dies. There are ways to memorialize or close down accounts, but you still have to j...
The Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act is proposed legislation and has a long way to go until it's the law of the land. Plus, it has opponents, many of which are powerful digital companies like Facebook and Google, so what do people do in the meantime? While some states have passed legislation to address it (Delaware being the most recent to ad...
The people opposing this legislation worry that automatically sharing this information is a breach of the deceased's privacy. However, once someone is gone privacy isn't often the top priority. Settling an estate, grieving and attempting to move on with your life are most important. Again, if a person is worried about private things being revealed ...
Some digital services, like Apple, state in their terms and conditions that all purchased assets revert back to Apple upon death. They have gotten away with a lot since the laws have yet to catch up to the technology. In the past you'd pass down books and CDs to loved ones, now it all just disappears? Seems unfair. But unless you share your digital...
This is a now problem. Death doesn't wait until you're organized or until laws are debated and passed. It's great people are finally addressing it and trying to come up with a reasonable solution, but until you're actually faced with this issue, as many are each day, the importance is difficult to fully comprehend.
- AOL. AOL automatically deactivates accounts after 90 days of inactivity (or 30 if the account was a free account) – which will wipe all the content from the account – but it does not actually delete the account.
- Google. Deleting a Google account will affect all things Google: YouTube, Google Drive, Gmail, Google Plus, and any other Google products associated with the account.
- iCloud. Apple IDs are tied to all sorts of data: payment methods, music or video purchases, applications, and iCloud email accounts. Privacy is a core value at Apple, so it is not easy to delete the account of a deceased individual unless you know their login information.
- Microsoft. Microsoft accounts are those that end in @outlook.com, @hotmail.com, @live.com, and @msn.com. Closing a Microsoft account deletes more than the email account – it also deletes files on OneDrive, Skype, Xbox Live data, and the balance of the account.
In the unfortunate event of a death of the billing contact for an AOL account, ownership can easily be transferred to another AOL Username already listed under the account. The billing contact's name appears on the credit card used for the AOL account.
