Digital Legacy & Memorial Settings
My Wishes
[This is the place to express what you'd want done with your digital presence. Write in your own words. For example:]
- "Memorialize my Facebook, delete Twitter and Reddit."
- "Keep my Google account active for at least a year — there are shared files others need."
- "My photo library on Google Photos has all our family photos — please make sure [person] has a copy before closing anything."
- "Don't worry about the servers — just turn them off when you're ready."

Recommendation
If you haven't already set up legacy/inactive account contacts on Google, Apple, and Facebook, consider doing so. It makes access much easier for your family without having to go through formal requests with death certificates. The password manager's emergency access feature is especially valuable.
