Your Digital Legacy

Hey there! 👋

Welcome to your Digital Legacy Planner - probably the most 2025 thing you'll do today!

Just like you've got your physical assets sorted in your Will, it's time to take care of your digital world. Think of this as your ultimate playlist of digital assets - from your Netflix account and Spotify playlists to your cryptocurrency wallet and those precious cloud-stored photos.

By filling out this form, you're making sure your digital life is handled exactly how you want it to be once you've gone, saving your loved ones from any tech-related headaches later.

REMEMBER: You can save this form and return to it as many times as you like - even after you've submitted it. Perfect for updating!

Meet Your Digital Executor {name:first}: Your Online Life's VIP Manager 🌟

Think of a digital executor as your tech-savvy guardian angel who takes care of your online world when you're no longer here. Just like your regular executor handles your physical assets, your digital executor manages your digital footprint - from your Netflix queue to your crypto wallet.

What Does a Digital Executor Do? 🤔

• Follows your wishes for social media accounts (memorial status, anyone?)
• Manages your digital subscriptions (goodbye, automatic renewals!)
• Securely handles your online banking and payment accounts
• Downloads and distributes important files and photos
• Protects your digital legacy from fraud or misuse
• Closes or memorialises accounts according to your instructions

 

Who Should Be Your Digital Executor?

You don't have to have just one! You could appoint a different digital executor for every one of your platforms if you like (but we don't recommend that, cause that would be a right old pain). 1 - 3 people would be ideal.

Choose someone who is:

• Tech-savvy enough to navigate various platforms
• Trustworthy with sensitive information
• Organized and detail-oriented
• Patient enough to deal with different platforms' policies
• Willing to take on this important responsibility

Pro tip: Your digital executor doesn't have to be the same person as your Will executor. Sometimes it's better to choose someone who speaks fluent emoji and knows their way around two-factor authentication! 💫

Legal Powers: Your digital executor doesn't have any legal rights - this is a document providing your guidance and wishes, however, ultimately, they don't have to be followed. So it's essential you choose someone (or multiple people) who you trust with your digital life, someone who'll respect your digital privacy while being capable enough to handle your online presence with care. After all, they'll be the ultimate playlist curator of your digital legacy! 🎯

Take your time working through each category, and don't forget to include any unique or specific accounts that don't fit these categories. Your digital executor will thank you for being thorough! 🙏

What are your options {name:first}?

Every digital account in your life can be handled in one of these ways:

Memorialised ⭐ Your account stays visible but frozen in time, marked as a memorial. Perfect for social media accounts you want to preserve as a digital memory book.

Closed Immediately 🔒 Account gets permanently deleted - everything goes. Ideal for accounts you want completely removed after you're gone and some accounts you won't have a choice (ie. bank accounts).

Transferred & Managed 📱 Someone takes over and keeps the account running. Great for profiles that need ongoing management or a business profile where your personal name isn't the brand.

Disclaimer: Some accounts (especially banking and financial) require legal proof of the executor's authority before any action can be taken - your executor will need proper documentation to handle these. Even having passwords isn't enough - the platforms will need to see legal authority! 🔐

But wait.... is my data safe?

Your data is protected with the same level of encryption as your online banking. Jotform is our form provider and this form uses the industry-standard security (known as 256-bit) that major banks rely on to safeguard their customers' information. Even they can't access your data.

Think of it as having a virtual vault that matches bank-grade security. So when you see we use '256-bit SSL encryption,' you can rest easy knowing your information receives the same robust protection as your bank account. 🔒

🚨 HOWEVER {name:first} we still recommend leaving extremely sensitive passwords blank and populating the form yourself either by writing on a printed copy, or editing on your computer via a PDF software such as Preview 🚨 

NB: If you have two-factor authentication, please think about how this might impact your digital executor's access. You might want to include your phone passcode on here, so they can access your mobile device for this purpose. 

Feeling like this {name:first}???

Don't worry! WE HEAR YOU! Everyone at AWAY Wills has been through this exact process, so we understand what you're feeling right now. 

🙏 Here's the thing... You can always save this form and come back to it later. In fact, you can submit it and return to update it as many times as you like.

Once this is done you can rest easy that your digital footprint is taken care of once you're gone 🙏 

LET'S DO THIS!

(Remember {name:first} to leave your password blank for sensitive data and you can input it yourself on the PDF you'll receive OR you can go OLD SCHOOl and hand write it on a print out ✏️ )
