Plan Your Digital Legacy
Make Sure Your Online Life Doesn’t Get Locked Away
When someone passes away or becomes unable to manage their affairs, family and loved ones are often left facing digital roadblocks: locked bank accounts, frozen email access, missing photo libraries, and bills they can’t pay. That’s where our Digital Legacy Report helps. It’s about making sure the right people can access the important parts of your online life when they need to—without stress, confusion, or unnecessary legal hurdles.
For a one-time establishment fee, Tech Made Simple by Colin provides a personalised Digital Legacy Report. We work with you to list all your key digital accounts—banking, superannuation, cloud storage, email, social media, and subscriptions—along with clear steps for how someone else could access them if something happened to you.
It’s not about sharing your passwords now; it’s about preparing a secure, private record of what exists and who should have access later. Once your report is ready, you can have a follow-up conversation with Colin to help you understand the next steps and make sure everything is set up clearly.
Most people assume, “My family will figure it out if anything happens.” But the reality is often very different. Without a plan, loved ones can spend weeks or months struggling with lost passwords, frozen accounts, and the permanent loss of important documents or memories. We make sure that doesn’t happen.
Your report includes:
- A clear checklist of your major online accounts and digital assets
- Guidance on setting up a trusted digital delegate (someone who can act on your behalf)
- Suggestions for including digital assets in your will or estate plan
- Advice on safe storage methods, such as our two-part key system
There is a one-time establishment fee for setting up your Digital Legacy record, plus a separate retrieval fee payable by your delegate when access is required in the future. Additional fees may apply if you need to make changes later—such as updating your delegate—or if you require further legal services like will setup or alternative solicitor lodgement. Everything is explained up front, with no hidden surprises. This is about providing peace of mind for you and clarity for those who care about you.
