What happens to your digital assets after you die?
One of the topics that came up near the end of my recent Tech Talk managing your digital presence was the issues that are being raised about access to your online accounts by others (allowed or not) after you die. Coincidentally, this week’s episode of This Week in Law focuses on just these issues. Heads up, all the participants are lawyers but yet the conversation is sill very understandable to the lay person.
