Digital Executor

A digital executor is responsible for managing your digital assets after you die, paying any debts or maintenance fees on behalf of your digital estate, and making sure that your digital assets are distributed to the people you want in the way you want.

A digital executor does not replace a real executor, but serves in that way what real one used to. In many states, a digital executor may not be legally recognized.

What does a digital executor do?

A digital executor's job depends on what you want your digital executor to do with your digital property after your death. These tasks can include:

• Informing any online communities or online friends of your death.
• Archiving personal files, photos, videos, and other content you've created
• Deleting files from your computer or other devices, or erasing devices' hard drives
• Maintaining certain online accounts, which may include paying for services to continue (such as web hosting services)
• Collecting and transferring any money or usable credits to your heirs
