MacVoices #23195: Joe Kissell Takes Control of Your Digital Legacy (2)

Published: July 17, 2023, 6:37 p.m.

In the second part of our discussion with Joe Kissell about Take Control of Your Digital Legacy, Second Edition, Joe talks about the importance of designating a trusted digital executor and consulting professionals for handling digital assets. We recover the risks of relying on third-party services and the need for a backup plan. Practical tips include writing your own obituary and carefully managing passwords. Joe's book on digital legacy offers more detailed information and even a template you can use. (2)
