Who legally has access?
Last month the world was celebrating the 25 year anniversary of the first website going public
following its birth by the British computer scientist Sir Tim Bernes-Lee.
Who knew that the World Wide Web would be the phenomenon it has become. The internet has
revolutionised the way we work and live each day.
The majority of our daily lives are conducted via the internet, whether it be through online banking,
shopping online, booking holidays or train tickets, or whether it be keeping in touch via the realms of
social media.
Where would we be with out it!? Great but have you ever considered what happens to all those
online accounts when you pass away.
Who has access to them? Who legally has access to them? What about identity security? What
happens to the money in your paypal account?
Legacy Safe is an online facility where you can store your details in one place to ensure your loved
ones have a central point of contact when you pass away. You record details of all your assets,
where documents are held. You can even upload a copy of your Will and record where the original is
as well as leaving personal letters of wishes for family or friends.
Your username and password details will remain confidential to you but you will be given a unique
access code which you can give to your executors to ensure they know how to find out exactly what
assets they have to deal with on your death. It will save time and money at an emotionally very difficult time for those left behind.
