Frequently Asked Questions

What is digital estate planning?

Digital estate planning is the process of organizing your online accounts, passwords, subscriptions, and digital documents so that they’re protected and accessible if something happens to you. It ensures your loved ones aren’t left guessing.

Why should I care about my digital legacy?

Your digital legacy includes everything from your email and banking to social media and photos. Without a plan, your family may face stress, legal issues, or lose access to important memories and financial accounts.

What types of accounts should I include in my plan?

You should include:

• Email accounts

• Online banking & retirement platforms

• Social media (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, etc.)

• Cloud storage (Google Drive, iCloud)

• Subscriptions (Netflix, Amazon, Spotify)

• Important digital files and passwords

Is this the same as a will or trust?

No. A traditional will or trust might cover your property and finances, but rarely includes guidance for digital assets. Our services complement legal documents by helping you organize your online life.

How does Golden Age Estate help?

• Inventory all your digital accounts

How long does it take?

Most families can complete their plan in 2 to 4 sessions. We move at your pace — whether you're planning ahead or responding to an urgent life event.

Is this service secure?

Absolutely. We use industry-standard security practices and never store your passwords ourselves. Instead, we guide you in setting up secure systems (like password managers) and creating a private record your family can access when needed.
