What happens to your Facebook, X(Twitter) account, Gmail inbox or other internet account when you pass away? How should these be deleted when no one has the passwords for these? Who owns the content? If this is not picked up by anyone upon death, Facebook friends may continue to receive notification of your birthday for years to come.

It is possible to name an executor in your will who will specifically take care of these matters after your death. But you can also leave it to the heirs. In that case, it is important that they know at that time what kind of internet accounts there are and what their login details are.

We offer the option of a digital safe in which you can store not only important documents but also the login details of internet accounts.

In the event of death, the person authorised by the deceased can request the login data for the digital safe from us. We only issue this key to the person authorised to do so.

For more information about a digital safe deposit box or the digital estate, please contact us. We will be happy to advise you.
