When we think about estate planning, we tend to focus on tangible assets like property and investments. But in the digital age, our online presence—especially our social media accounts—forms a significant part of our legacy. What happens to your Facebook profile, your Twitter feed, or your Instagram photos after you pass away? Many people assume their families can simply log in and manage or delete these accounts, but a complex web of government rules and platform policies says otherwise. Understanding these regulations is key to ensuring your digital afterlife is handled according to your wishes.
