With password management company NordPass saying each person has an average of 100 online accounts, the deaths of loved ones have become ever more complicated.
And while digital legacy planning can ease some of that burden, experts say far too few people take advantage of those tools.

These plans aren’t typically legally binding, unless they’re directly incorporated into a will, but they can be invaluable for loved ones after one’s death.
