What to do first when digital access becomes urgent
Use this page for orientation. Laws, platform rules, and family authority vary, so involve the appropriate professionals when accounts, money, or estate decisions are involved.
Find authority and documents
Look for power of attorney, healthcare directive, will, trust, executor paperwork, attorney contact, and insurance information.
Stabilize bills and key accounts
Identify utilities, mortgage or rent, insurance, phone, cloud storage, email, banking, and subscriptions that could create problems if ignored.
Preserve photos and records
Back up phones, computers, drives, and cloud libraries before canceling accounts. Some memories disappear when subscriptions lapse.
