Resources / Incident Readiness

Digital estate planning is often ignored until there is a crisis. Security controls should support lawful continuity without exposing sensitive accounts.

Essentials:

  • Maintain an inventory of critical accounts and ownership context.
  • Define trusted executors and access boundaries with counsel or an estate specialist where appropriate.
  • Store recovery instructions in a secure, documented location.
  • Review plans annually after major account or family changes.

Prepared continuity can reduce both legal friction and exploitation risk during disruptive events.
