why add digital & online accounts to adeus?

Digital and Online accounts are generally cloud storage accounts through providers like Google Drive, Apple iCloud, Dropbox, Microsoft One Drive, and similar paid accounts. They allow you to store documents, photos, videos and other file types securely.

Digital and Online accounts are different than Social Media accounts in terms of:

• How you use them
• Importance and personal value of the information you upload and store there
• The way your nominated contact can gain access after your passing.

Most platforms already allow users to create legacy contacts or key holders by following a few simple steps in your account. This is an evolving space with more platforms adding this capability following the likes of Apple and Google.

Given the pace of change in this space, please check in the account settings or help guides of your favourite platform for the latest information and guides.

How this fits your My Legacy Plan

Protecting your digital legacy is a step in your My Legacy Plan. Adding your social media or digital and online accounts completes this step and moves your Legacy Plan progress forward.
