Are you surprised by how many of them you already have?
All of these require details about YOU. Is this the type of information that you would want to remain out in ‘digital land’ if you were no longer here? Surely, you would want someone to be owning and over sighting these for you, even if it’s only to ‘unsubscribe’ or close them down at a minimum. Or to retain the data somewhere else.
Digital Assets are important and often vital information. Don’t leave it up to other people to try to track down this information after you are gone. Incorporate them into your Will, along with all of your other assets, for peace of mind for you AND your loved ones.
