Closing Social Media and Online Accounts

We rely on technology to work, play, socialise, and communicate as well as store our important information and precious memories. When people die their accounts don’t simply disappear.

As executor or administrator, you will need to determine how social media and other online accounts will be managed and if they will be closed or remain open.

Each platform will have a unique process for closing or memorialising an account after a death.
