In short: Create a current account inventory, store access instructions securely, and keep personal legacy messages separate from passwords and financial records.

Make an account inventory

List email, banking, cloud storage, social media, subscriptions, photos, domains, business tools, and devices. You do not need passwords in the same list.

The first gift to your family is simply knowing what exists.

Use secure password storage

Do not put passwords inside a final video. Use a reputable password manager, estate process, or secure legal arrangement appropriate to your location.

Separate secrets from sentiments. It protects both.

Mark what matters emotionally

Some accounts contain money. Others contain memory: photos, voice notes, recipes, family documents, creative work. Flag the places where irreplaceable memories live.

That helps family prioritize without searching every corner of your digital life.

Quick checklist

Preserve Your Message With Care

Record a private video, choose recipients, and keep your legacy message protected until the right time.
