The following is an part of a post from Tech and Life (Friend of TGM Site), concerning what happens with your digital identity once you die. We think of so many things as we get older (Will’s, Life Insurance, etc) but in this generation where technology rules our lives, how many of us really think about our digital identities. Unfortunately this topic came up as my friend at Tech and Life had a loss in the family.

A recent family bereavement got me thinking. What would happen to this blog and all my online accounts if I died tomorrow? I hadn’t really given it much thought before and I’m sure many of you are in the same boat. It’s hard enough to cope with a family bereavement let alone sit down and try and sort out someone’s online accounts so we really should give our loved ones as much help as we can to cover this unfortunate possibility. As it stands, I’m sure my wife would be completely at a loss to know where to start with my online life. Not surprising really as she doesn’t know which online accounts I have! So let’s have a look and see if there’s anything we can do to help deal with our virtual life in the event of our actual death.
