If God forbid, an unfortunate incident happens and we end up departing from this world, there is a need to ensure that our digital legacy in terms of our Google / Facebook and various other social / E commerce / Financial etc. services are passed on to our near and dear ones in a seamless manner. For standard financial services, there are nomination mechanisms available. For the online world, there are a few services available. They are easy to setup. I will just give references to them here. If you haven't set them up yet, Now is the right time to set it up.
Google provides an Inactive account manager service. See details at. https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/3036546?hl=en .
Facebook provides a digital legacy option. This is available under their General account settings.
After surviving a near death situation, I am trying to make sure that next time I am better prepared.
