Of course that's an option, and a paper will is pretty much
unavoidable. But there are undeniable benefits to a complementary
digital approach. It's quicker to update a website than contact a
solicitor, and typically can be done an unlimited number of times
without any extra cost. This is useful considering that my "digital
estate" is generally in more flux than my material assets.
The downside is of course that it's a far less proven approach, so
there's probably a lot more risk something would go wrong than with
the traditional solicitor/will mechanism.
Hi all,
Forgive me if this is a little off-topic, but this list seems like the
(rare) kind of forum read by people who might have already thought
about this problem and maybe even come up with solutions:
How do you ensure that your online data is handled correctly if you die?

A slightly less pessimistic answer: speak to your solicitor about it. I
see no reason why you couldn't leave instructions in your will.
