Securing Your Digital Legacy
Evolving Media CHRONICLES
By Jeff Poissant
In today’s ever-immersive and entwined digital age, planning for the future and making provisions for your digital assets is imperative. Make a plan for managing and consider all aspects of your life, including your digital assets, online accounts, and digital footprint after passing. Here are some compelling steps to consider when preparing for the closure of digital assets upon your demise:
For example, Facebook states, “To help us remove your loved one’s account from Facebook, we’ll need you to provide documentation to confirm you’re an immediate family member or executor of the account holder.“
Facebook continues to state that the fastest way for us to process your request is for you to provide a scan or photo of your loved one’s death certificate.
If you don’t have your loved one’s death certificate, you’ll need to provide proof of authority and proof that your loved one has passed away. Please see the documents that we accept below.
Submit one document to provide proof of authority:
Submit one document to provide proof that your loved one has passed away:
Note: The information on the documentation you provide must match your loved one’s account information. When submitting documentation, please cover up any personal information we don’t need to fulfill your request (for example, Social Security number).
Once you have the required documentation, please send a request to Facebook.

By taking proactive measures to prepare for managing your digital assets after your passing, you can ensure that your executor manages your online accounts and digital presence according to your desires. Safeguarding your digital legacy is integral to comprehensive estate planning in today’s digital landscape.
