A digital will is different from a legal will. Our personal records, important accounts and final wishes are managed online.
A digital will has become an essential component of every estate plan. As our digital assets grow in scope and value, a simple way to leave these items for our loved ones and manage what happens to them after we pass on needs to be a component of our estate plans. DigitalWill.com provides the only true digital will solution on the market today. But what can be covered in your digital will? Let’s explore.
Personal Records Can Be Added to Your Digital Will
Personal records are a key component of a digital will. Personal records are documents that are used in many instances to prove identity, open bank accounts, take out loans and more. Some examples of these records include:
- Driver’s licenses or ID cards
- Marriage licenses
- Birth certificates
- Social Security cards
- Military records
These documents are fundamental, but can easily be lost or misplaced. How often have you needed one of these items and been unable to find it? Now imagine your loved ones trying to find them to help settle your estate. A secure and simple way to access these personal records is needed, and that is where DigitalWill.com comes in.
Simply upload your personal records to your digital will and assign an executor to them. When your executors confirm your passing, they will be granted access to the records you assign to them. Our security protocols prevent them from accessing the documents you assign to them before your death is confirmed by your other executors, so it is crucial to name at least 2 executors to your digital will (you can select up to 4).
Include Your Important Accounts in Your Digital Will
We all have different ways of thinking about funerals and how we want to be remembered. Some of us are deeply religious and want those traditions carried out at our funeral. Some of us want our funerals to be happier occasions and serve as a celebration of life. We all have an idea of how we want our remains to be handled as well.
You can document these wishes easily with DigitalWill.com. Simply use the “My Funeral Plan” feature to let your loved ones know what type of funeral and burial you want, where you want to be interred and any other special instructions. One user told us “My mom wanted specific songs played during her funeral. By communicating this to us, we were able to give her the final send off she wanted. This helped us with the grieving process.”

We all have a significant number of important accounts we manage digitally. From online banking to cloud storage, the average adult has a minimum of 7 accounts they manage online. When you think of the important accounts you manage digitally, you probably think of the following examples:
- Online banking
- Utility accounts
- Social media profiles
- Payment apps like PayPal or Venmo
- Subscriptions like Netflix or Chewy
Until DigitalWill.com, it was difficult to manage these accounts after you passed away. Family members were left scrambling to find access information to turn off subscriptions, or stop automatic payments on utility bills. Subscription services are not automatically closed down, and will often require presentation of a death certificate before someone other than the account holder attempts to turn them off. This means your credit card or bank account will continue to be drawn on until the account is closed.
By leaving a trusted executor of your choosing in charge of these matters, they can easily turn off any subscriptions you have after you die. Likewise, you can have your social media profiles handled the way you choose, rather than leaving it up to chance.
Another benefit of your DigitalWill.com account is the ability to make unlimited updates. Traditional wills are expensive to update (between $100-$500 per alteration) and when you think of the number of times you have reset your passwords on your digital accounts, you can imagine how expensive it would be to keep these items updated with a legal will.
The flexibility and peace of mind offered by a digital will from DigtialWill.com will help you and your loved ones manage your digital assets.
Document Your Final Wishes With a Digital Will
Whether it is instructions for a Facebook profile or who will receive access to a PayPal account, we all want our final wishes to be carried out to our specifications. A digital will from DigitalWill.com helps us ensure these wishes are respected after we are gone.
There are even those we would like to leave a final message for. Our children, grandchildren and significant others all want the comfort of knowing we loved them. Sadly, many never receive these final messages, as there isn’t an easy and convenient way to leave a personal message to a loved one. DigitalWill.com solves this problem with the Final Wishes feature.
Simply leave a heartfelt message to family members and friends for them to receive once you pass away. By having these messages in place, you will help ease the burden of loss for those you care about most.
DigitalWill.com provides you with other features that will help you record your final wishes easily:
Write Your Obituary
The “My Obituary” feature allows you to tell your story on your terms. You can easily write your obituary to tell your loved ones and friends what was most important to you. Maybe you are proud of certain accomplishments or want your future generations to know important and unique facts about you. You can include these items in your obituary and give your descendants a way to learn more about you and their history.
Obituaries are more than a simple notice of death. They are often the final word about the life we live. With DigitalWill.com, you can be remembered the way you want.
