Digital Death Cleanup

Your digital life should not become someone else’s emergency.

Passwords expire. Phones disappear. Cloud libraries multiply. Subscriptions keep charging, and the accounts that hold your money, work, memories, and identity follow different rules when you can no longer manage them.

Digital Death Cleanup gives you a practical system for finding what matters, protecting it now, and leaving a lawful, humane handoff.

In this book, you'll discover:

• How to build a secure digital inventory without creating a password-filled security risk
• A recovery design for passwords, passkeys, MFA, devices, and primary email
• A preservation workflow for photos, videos, metadata, names, and family stories
• A safe shutdown sequence for subscriptions, financial apps, domains, and business systems
• How Apple Legacy Contact, Google Inactive Account Manager, and social memorialization fit into a larger plan
• Why technical access is not the same as legal authority
• The one-hour handoff test that exposes hidden gaps before a crisis

Do the work once, maintain it in small reviews, and leave clarity instead of an access puzzle.

Why read this book

Most digital-cleanup books stop at folders, inboxes, and passwords. This book treats digital organization as a continuity and legacy problem. It separates assets, access, authority, and intent; places security before convenience; and gives the reader a sequence that works during ordinary life, incapacity, and estate administration.

The method is concrete. Readers build an inventory, repair recovery paths, preserve family media, organize cloud infrastructure, map financial and business property, configure provider tools, coordinate legal authority, and install a sustainable review calendar.
