Your Digital Afterlife

Think about your digital online presence: all the sites you go to, all the social media, email, accounts, and so forth that are password protected, and all of the photos, video, comments, and  memories that are housed in so many different places online.

What happens to all of that after you are gone?  Are you prepared for your digital afterlife?  Here are some links to help in your planning:
