You’ve planned your will. But have you planned your digital afterlife?
We plan for our homes, our finances, even our funerals. But most people overlook the part of their life that now holds just as much value, maybe more.
Your digital life.
From crypto wallets and online bank accounts to cloud files, photos, and social media—your digital presence doesn’t disappear when you do. It lingers. It locks out loved ones. And without a plan, it often leads to confusion, delays, and painful financial loss.
The $77 Billion Problem Hiding in Your Inbox
Every year, families miss out on millions in unclaimed assets. The numbers are staggering—over $77 billion sits dormant in forgotten accounts and policies.
Why?
Because no one knew they existed.
Because passwords were lost.
Because even with a will, the details were never shared.
This isn’t just about money. It’s about the photos your family can’t recover. The messages they never find. The closure they don’t get.
What Makes Digital Assets So Difficult to Pass On?
Unlike physical property, digital assets are invisible unless someone knows exactly where to look or how to access them.
- Crypto and investment platforms often require 2FA and secret keys
- Email accounts may hold financial and legal information, but can’t be accessed without login details
- Cloud services like Google Drive or iCloud might contain everything from tax documents to family photos
- Social media platforms require formal processes (and proof) to deactivate or memorialize accounts
- Subscription services can continue charging indefinitely if no one knows to cancel them
Even the most well-meaning estate plans often fail to address these details because they change so frequently and because traditional estate tools weren’t built for a digital world.
When a Digital Legacy Is Lost
Imagine this: A father passes away suddenly. He had a will in place, and his family believed everything was handled. But months later, they realize they can’t access:
- His cryptocurrency wallet
- The online portal for his life insurance
- Years of family photos stored in Google Photos
- Passwords stored in a digital vault no one else had access to
They face weeks of dead ends, legal delays, and emotional stress, not because of poor planning, but because the digital world moved faster than his paperwork.
SmartHeritance exists to prevent that.
Wills Aren’t Built for the Cloud
Estate planning tools were created for paper trails and physical assets. They rarely account for the ever-evolving nature of modern life—dynamic logins, 2FA-protected platforms, new investment apps, or crypto keys.
What gets missed?
- Crypto wallets with no recovery path
- Social media accounts open to identity theft
- Ongoing charges from forgotten subscriptions
- Family memories trapped in cloud storage
Wills are static. Your digital life is not.

Frequently Asked Questions About Digital Legacy Planning
What is a digital legacy?
Your digital legacy includes all your accounts, assets, and data. From emails and photos to crypto wallets and cloud storage even online accounts that you may be paying every yearly. These all remain after you pass away.
Can a will cover digital assets?
Most wills aren’t designed to handle the complexity or constant changes of digital assets. They typically don’t include account credentials, two-factor authentication steps, or the evolving details of online platforms. And because wills become public documents during probate, including sensitive login information in them is not only unwise it’s also a security risk.
What happens to my social media when I die?
Without guidance, your profiles may stay active indefinitely, risking identity theft or misuse. Platforms like Facebook and Instagram offer memorialization, but access requires documentation your family may not have.
