The Dead Don't Log Off

When you die, your phone does not. Your email, photos, bank apps, subscriptions, and crypto wallet all stay signed in, behind passwords only you knew.

This warm, plain-language guide explains what really happens next: what the law and each big platform actually do after a death, and how one calm afternoon of planning changes all of it. Your family inherits the photos, not a password hunt. General information, not legal advice, and the book tells you plainly where an estate attorney earns their fee.

Inside:

- What the law actually says: terms of service vs. your will, and RUFADAA explained simply

- Platform by platform: Google, Apple, Facebook and Instagram, Microsoft, and X

- Photos and files: beating the single-copy trap

- Money and crypto: beneficiary basics, and how to document access for heirs safely

- The planning kit: account inventory worksheet, digital-wishes letter template, and trusted-contact card

One afternoon of planning spares your family the mess. Do it while it is easy.
