Digital Legacy Part of Life

We all have a digital footprint. Every post on Instagram, every music playlist we’ve carefully curated. Whether it’s photos, emails or even gaming avatars, what will happen to them when we die and will loved ones ever be able to access them again as a means to connect and as balm to grief?

Have you considered the bereavement support role your Facebook account could play when you have died?

Have you made plans for what will happen to all your photos when you die?

Will your loved ones be able to access your music playlists when you are gone?


We interviewed James Norris, founder of the Digital Legacy Association, and MyWishes to help answer some of the most important questions about how to curate, protect and preserve our digital legacies. 

Alongside the practicalities of managing our digital accounts, James offers up his Top 5 Tips for how to tackle your Digital Legacy. He also shares his personal journey towards becoming the leading expert on this important and ever-evolving discussion.

From deepfakes to AI, Meta service agreements, this interview is a must listen.
