What happens to your online accounts if you die?

[Rosy]

Some expire after a very long time

They just exist and become inactive. I heard a story on the radio a few years ago about somebody that was thinking of launching a business to delete your online identity if you died, but I don't know if it went anywhere. If you are leaving final instructions, you might leave those with a will and ask a close friend to delete them for you.

A coworker of mine died a year ago and he's still listed as a Facebook friend. It's sort of strange.

[Beautiful Freak]

it stays there for eternity.

That's an interesting question you asked there, probably the accounts registered on websites could be stuck there.

[Alfred]

I thought of that too... I think it will be there forever like if you have a video on youtube, even your great great grand son or daughter could see it as long as the site is still active.

I know Facebook memorializes your profile.
