Why I Wrote The Digital Legacy Tree™
During years of work in cybersecurity and privacy, I repeatedly encountered situations where individuals and families struggled to access critical digital information after the death or incapacity of a loved one.
Despite our increasing reliance on technology, few people have a practical system for organizing digital assets, accounts, and information that others may one day need. Digital Legacy Tree was created to help close that gap.
More Than Estate Planning
Many people believe their family or executors will be able to navigate their digital life without issues when the time comes. But there are actually some important issues that you should think about. A little bit of time spent on these issues will definitely save others from the frustration and stress that occurs when there is no roadmap on how to navigate through all your information.
Not Just Legal Planning
A will provides legal instructions. A Digital Legacy Tree provides practical context and organization.
Not Just Passwords
Knowing passwords is only part of the challenge.
Not Just For After Death
The framework also helps prepare for emergencies, caregiving situations, illness, and incapacity.
