During our lifetime, our online presence is always increasing. So what happens to our social media and online accounts if we become permanently incapacitated?
No-one has any access to my accounts. What can I do?
- Prepare a Lasting Power of Attorney, providing specific instructions to your attorneys to deal with your social media and online accounts.

- You can prepare a letter of instruction detailing all of your social media and online accounts together with your user names and passwords and providing full details of your wishes for each of your accounts.
Your social media and online account providers will accept instructions received from your attorney once they receive a copy of your Registered Lasting Power of Attorney.
