Digital inheritance is when someone leaves instructions or instructions about what should happen to their online accounts and digital assets when they pass away. For example, if someone created a website or a blog, had an email address, or stored photos and videos online, they might want all of these items to be passed on to someone, or deleted after they're gone. Digital inheritance lets them explain to the people they leave behind, like their family and friends, what they would like to happen with their accounts and digital items.
