We help you manage your deceased loved one’s online legacy.
We are experts at managing your deceased loved one’s online digital engagements—especially when you don’t have the account passwords.
Do you wish to “memorialize” or close-down a Facebook page or Twitter account for a deceased member of your family?
How about Gmail or Microsoft Outlook? TikTok, Reddit, LinkedIn? Or any of hundreds of others.
We can help.
We manage sites like these and many more.
Don’t have your deceased loved one’s account passwords?
Many family members do not share passwords with each other for their accounts.
When no password is available, getting permission to manage an account is complex and time consuming. Identity verification, along with verifying any individual’s authority to manage an account, is a time-consuming part of the process and is required by virtually all website service providers.
However, there is an additional obstacle. Virtually all website service providers have a customized approach and process that applies only to their accounts. While there are many commonalities across sites, such as the need for a death certificate, there are many inconsistent requirements too.
We navigate these obstacles for you.
Social Media Fraud Related To The Accounts Of The Deceased
It is unfortunate, but fraud related to the social media accounts of the deceased is very real. It has become such a growing phenomenon; the FBI has warned about it.
Unfortunately, the social media accounts of the deceased are particularly vulnerable to scams. There is even a term for it. “Ghost Fraud.” Simply put, a hacker might try to assume the identity of the deceased. If successful, this hacker could wreak significant havoc financially or ruin your loved one’s reputation.
A hacked account could be used for many illegal or unwanted purposes, such as requesting financial aid, promoting unsavory websites, or suggesting “friends” visit site links that are designed to hack private information that could be sold.
Facebook, for instance, often makes “friend” suggestions or announces birthdays or other special annual events such as wedding anniversaries. We have heard stories that Facebook has suggested friend connections for some who passed away even years before. Some individuals receive multiple notices related to deceased friends and business acquaintances year after year. This is especially true for older individuals.
It’s not Facebook’s fault that this occurs. They have no way of knowing if someone has passed away unless a family member informs them.
The current reality is that grieving family members have many priorities related to the passing of a family member. The deceased’s online footprint is likely way down the priority list, but it shouldn’t be. There is way too much at stake to let it go unmanaged.
