Premium Tool
Digital Legacy Planner
what happens to each account after you die.
Your photos, email, and payment apps don’t pass under your will by default. This planner covers advance settings for Apple, Google, and Facebook, plus the published after-death processes for several other major platforms. Track what you have set up, record your wishes for the accounts you add, and print the plan. Once you have Premium, your work saves in this browser first and syncs to your account.
What’s included
- A setup tracker for Apple, Google, and Facebook with published steps and official links, last checked July 2026
- The after-death process for Instagram, X, LinkedIn, Venmo, and PayPal, from each platform's own help pages
- A record of what should happen to the other accounts you add: delete, memorialize, transfer, or let lapse
- An access plan for your password manager, phone, and two-factor backup codes: locations only, never the passwords
- Download as a formatted PDF or Word document, print it, or copy the text
This tool produces a planning document, not legal advice.
The short answer
Your accounts outlive you, and most platforms won't hand your family a password, ever. What works: legacy contacts where offered (Apple, Google, Facebook), a password manager with emergency access, and written instructions naming who handles what. The planner on this page covers each account type and what to set up while you're alive.

About this tool
What Digital Legacy Planner helps you do
Review the platforms in the planner, use any legacy settings they currently offer, and document what you want done with the accounts you add. Set up the platform features while you're alive: legacy contacts, inactive-account settings, and a password manager's emergency access. After a death, most platforms hold the line on privacy no matter who asks.
