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

<p>In the second part of our discussion with <strong>Joe Kissell </strong>about <strong><a href="https://www.takecontrolbooks.com/digital-legacy/#tab-toc">Take Control of Your Digital Legacy, Second Edition</a>, </strong>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.
