What should I do?

To ensure the sustainability of your online presence and the transmission of your digital rights:

  • Make an inventory of important accounts and content, noting for each platform its specific policies.
  • Draw up clear and personalised instructions for each social media or service used.
  • Check how, in the legal system governing the succession, social media accounts are inherited.
    The applicable law might require you to make a last will or make special agreements with the social media platform to ensure that your choices will be respected.

A notary can help you in this regard.

  • Use a password manager or a secure list to transmit your access information,
    respecting security and confidentiality rules.
  • Integrate your digital wishes into your will, with the help of a notary, to secure the process.
