Unusual question regarding wills (or last messages)

[avebury]

I am in the process of catelouging my electronic media (i.e. kindle and audible purchases). I have an extensive collection of both. It just dawned on me that, when I die, what will happend with all of the purchase that I have made.

Has anyone out there considered bequeathing in his/her will his/her log on information so that someone else will be able to benefit from your library of ebooks and audiobooks?

It is not such a big deal if family member are already sharing a single "membership" but I don't know if it would dawn on a single person to leave someone with their log on info when they die.

1. I have a flash drive with all of my log in information

for bank accounts, and online media that will go to the executor of my will. It's something that I don't think a lot of people think of but it can be a PITA for family trying to access information.

As a joke the first line on the document is: Erase my web history please.

2. Not an unusual question at all and

one that more should be asking in my opinion. This overall topic came up a year or so ago when MFM passed away.

I would first suggest a book called "Before It's Too Late" which I am currently working through. It's in workbook form and goes over a lot of topics which would be important to an Executor and the family.

I have chosen a slightly different method for storing my online passwords in that I don't keep them with the binder of things that go with "Before It's Too Late" but in another location and in a rolodex type arrangement. This allows me to change just one password, add or delete as needed by just typing up a new business card size piece of paper and putting it in the file. It is also handy for me to keep passwords for sites that I use infrequently, but still wish to retain.

Your online presence is part of your life and you need to make arrangements for it just as you would any other part.
