Adding a legacy contact ensures your loved ones can access and manage your digital accounts after your passing.
There are several ways and options to do this for different digital accounts. Each platform has specific steps for setting up a legacy contact or memorializing an account. However, some platforms —like X (formerly Twitter) and Dropbox— do not offer legacy contacts yet.
Having this set up before your loved ones need it will help them through the process of closing your accounts. You may also want to consider using a Family Password Manager for secure access to important accounts and documents.
