In this episode of Answers for Elders Radio, host Suzanne Newman welcomes Lindsay Friedman, Founder and CEO of CareBLOOM and LT Care NAV, and Niki Weiss, Digital Legacy Thanatologist and Founder and CEO of ENDevo. Today they explore why digital legacy planning has become an essential part of end-of-life planning, estate planning and caregiving. From passwords and online accounts to photos, social media, financial information and cloud storage, today's families have an enormous amount of digital information to manage when a loved one dies or becomes incapacitated. Niki explains why we need to move beyond traditional wills and trusts and start thinking about the legal, financial, physical AND digital aspects of legacy planning. The conversation includes a practical look at Apple's Legacy Contact feature — why seniors, caregivers and adult children should make sure trusted people can access important digital information when needed.
