Let's face it: very few of us are prepared for our own demise. It's unlikely we have our will ready or even a list of our online accounts and what we'd want done with them if death should ever surprise us.
Recognizing this, the company Entrustet has launched a new program to help families and lawyers gather the digital estate of the recently deceased. By looking for digital assets, or online accounts and data that can possess sentimental and economic value, the program tackles the often overwhelming task of tracking down loved ones' information after they're gone.It works like this: Families and estate planners provide the e-mail address of a recently deceased friend or family member to the company. Then, a program compiles a Digital Property Report from searching more than 50 of the most popular websites to hunt down accounts. The company then issues a list of those accounts, along with information on how to transfer, memorialize or delete them.
