Just as we prepare wills for our physical possessions, we need to plan for our digital remains.

    My digital legacy is going in the dumpster, unless somebody figures out how to break encryption that I’ve never shared the password for.

    Probate can figure out the rest.

        It’ll be possible. Whether someone will take the time and cost on are another question altogether.

        You’d be very disappointed. Most of it is stuff you can get off usenet yourself, and the rest is documents and pictures nobody cares about but me.
