Digital Legacy!

Apple released a big iPhone update, which includes a new feature called Digital Legacy.

​

How do I do this?

• Open Settings on your iPhone.

• Tap your name at the top of the page.

• Select “Password & Security.”

• Choose “Legacy Contact.”

• Choose up to five family members or friends.

• You'll receive an access code.  Print it and keep it in a safe place with your other estate planning documents.

• Then send access code by text or email to your "Legacy Contact"

• When they receive the access code, they should also print it and/or keep it in a safe place with their other estate planning documents. I sent the following message to my legacy contacts as well, "Now that you have received an access code. Print it and keep it in a safe place with other estate planning documents. You will need to provide that code and a death certificate to access my account. As a Legacy contact, you can visit Apple’s website to request access after I die."

• Your Digital Legacy contacts will need to provide that code and a death certificate to access your account.

• Legacy contacts can visit Apple’s website to request access after you die.
