Two million dollars for your granddaughter in an offshore account

Suspiciously specific.

Make sure you add a statement of wishes to your will, especially look into your digital legacy. My will was straightforward but my statement of wishes was lengthy and the poor lawyer had never had to deal with anything like it before so had to consult a senior partner. In the end they just copy and pasted it over - money for old rope.

can you elaborate on what your wishes were and why

It’s quite lengthy.

It covers my digital legacy so gives the password to my password manager and a list of key accounts that need shuttering, especially my Wikipedia admin account.

Then various classes of items to different places - academic books to the university library, others to specialist collections, general fiction off to one person, comics to another and on.

If it’s something you are interested in, you should read around on the subject as various guides give you examples that may be closer to your circumstances.

can you dm me your will id like to use it for reference you seem to very knowledgable

Emperor ,

I’ve rather not as there’s a tonne of personal information in there and little that would necessarily be relevant to you.

My best advice to anyone is search for “statement of wishes” and then “digital legacy” and that will get you the guides I used. I can’t claim to have any greater knowledge and experience than they provided, just enough to befuddle a junior lawyer.

could you censor stuff

Emperor ,

It would make no sense and I doubt it’d be of much use to you. You are better off following the guides - I did nothing clever or innovative other than read and follow them.

And a condom. Don’t forget the condom. They double as water transportation bags.

And colostomy bags

Filled with Ramen right? Right?..

Assuming you’re a normal person and therefore have a complicated, toxic relationship with your family such that you don’t want your estate split evenly between your next of kin, a will with which to scorn each of them one last time.

Don’t skip the paperwork for declaring your executor and/or a living will either - you don’t want those presumedly slimy bastards making medical decisions for you while you’re in a coma.

Zippy ,

You should will each person you want to scorn at least one dollar. They then can not argue that they were simply forgotten.

A script that deletes all of your online information.

randomguy2323 ,

Yeah and what to do with your online accounts.

Hubi ,

Would you even care if you’re dead anyway? Maybe some far descendant can stumble across my posts and put them in his family history folder.

acastcandream ,

I don’t like the idea of all my conversations online being right there word for word for my family to see without my ability to give any context .

bipmi ,

Theoretically though, if youre already dead, would it even matter? To me, what youre describing would be the same as if, say, your grandkids or whatever descendants ended up finding a photoalbum filled with pics of you and letters you wrote to friends and family and such. There would be no outside context from you but it could still be a nice heirloom for your grandkids/great grandkids to remember you by and learn a bit about what type of person you were.

acastcandream ,

For the entirety of human existence, people have not been privy to word for word conversations for large swaths of all their friends and family. I’m not sure I’m ready to just accept that new reality.

over_clox ,

Meh, I’d be more likely to make a script to upload all my remaining information. Not like I got any accounts anyone could use for any personal gain, I’m more of an internet historian archiving old software and stuff.

Newusername4oldfart ,

If it was never intended to be public, you might screw other living people over in the process. Think: revenge porn.

over_clox ,

Yeah, but I just said, I archive software and stuff.

My pecker is too tiny for a bit of data. Or is it?.. 🤔

Pixel ,

… and then reddit undeletes it

Usul_00_ ,

Are they doing that with everyone removing their content lately? So much for having control of your user account and persona.
