Digital life and paperwork

This is where modern estates go wrong: nobody can access anything.

Do not leave passwords in a will

Wills can become visible to others. Use a safer method.

Write a simple map

• Where the password manager is
• Who can access it if you die
• Which accounts must be closed
• Which accounts must be preserved

Common traps

• Two factor authentication tied to your phone number
• Email as the key to everything, but nobody can access it
• Subscriptions and direct debits that keep running

Paperwork location

• Will and any updates
• Insurance documents
• Property deeds or mortgage details
• Business records if applicable
