Digital Legacy
Plan Today, Protect Tomorrow
If someone had to step in tomorrow, would they know where to find everything?
Your passwords, financial accounts, insurance, important documents and online services are now a big part of your life. A little organisation today can make things much easier for the people you trust later.
A simple way to get your digital life organised
Secure your passwords
Set up a password manager so you don’t have important passwords scattered across notebooks, browsers and devices.
Record what matters
Create one secure reference showing where your important financial, legal, household and digital information can be found.
Make sure the right person knows
Tell your executor, attorney or trusted family member where your information is stored — without giving them your passwords unnecessarily.

Frequently asked questions about Digital Legacy
A digital legacy is the collection of online accounts, digital information, documents and services you leave behind. Organising these details can make it easier for someone you trust to manage important matters if you’re unable to do so yourself.
Include details about your important financial, legal and household information, key contacts, online accounts, devices and where secure access information is stored. The aim is to make important information easier to locate without putting sensitive details at risk.
It’s generally better not to write passwords directly into a checklist or document. Instead, use a secure password manager and record where your trusted person can find the information or instructions they may need.
Choose someone you trust, such as your executor, attorney or a trusted family member. They don’t necessarily need your passwords now, but they should know that your digital legacy information exists and where it can be found.
Review it at least once a year and whenever something important changes, such as opening or closing accounts, changing devices, updating estate documents or changing the person you trust to access the information.
