Digital legacy — your online presence after death

The digital traces a person leaves are more extensive and more permanent than any previous generation's — which creates a form of posthumous presence that neither the dead nor the living fully know what to do with. Your emails, your posts, your messages, your search history: they constitute an archive of a life that will persist long after you are done with it. Deciding what to do with this — and who should have access to it — is new territory that most estate planning has not caught up to.
