Nothing you typed goes with it. Just the tool and the link.
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 below covers each account type and what to set up while you're alive.

Before you start
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.
What happens to each account type →Premium Tool
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.
