What happens to your Gmail, Google Photos, Google Drive, and other digital assets if you're no longer able to access them?
Most people have beneficiaries for their financial accounts, but few have a plan for their digital assets.
Google offers a feature called Inactive Account Manager that allows you to designate trusted contacts and decide what happens to your account if it becomes inactive. Think of it as a digital beneficiary designation for your online life. You can choose who is notified, what data they can access, and whether your account should eventually be deleted.
Taking just a few minutes to set this up could save your family a great deal of stress and uncertainty during an already difficult time.
