Ab assets sirf land, gold, bank FD nahi; digital assets bhi hain – email accounts, social media, cloud storage, online wallets, trading accounts, even crypto. Jab person mar jaye, to family ko access milna easy nahi hota.
Many platforms ke apne policies hote hain – memorialisation, account closure, limited data sharing on proof. Crypto wallets me agar keys ya seed phrase lost ho jaye, to practically funds gone.
Estate planning me ab digital asset inventory, password managers, and specific clauses in Will important hote ja rahe hain. “Sab passwords mujhe yaad hain” wala approach clearly unsafe hai.
Heirs ko bhi legal documentation (death certificate, succession proof, court orders) ready rakhna hota hai service providers se deal karne ke liye. Digital legacy ek real topic hai, optional luxury nahi.
