If someone dies and all their photos are stored on The Cloud, would they be automatically accessible to their Executor?
If yes how?
If no, how would one get access to them?
Come to think of it - as so much personal stuff is now stored digitally, who would be able to access it and how??
This is going to be an increasing problem, Executors can no longer rely on a paper trail/ post statements etc to find details of the deceased's financial accounts. It's a useful warning to us all
I think that provided that you know that the accounts exist, the companies have procedures to deal with this. I had to access some financial stuff when DH died, and also he owned some hosted web addresses and the attached websites. In both cases it was the same as dealing with all the other paper based companies. I had to provide a death certificate, proof of my identity and a copy of the probate document to get access to the accounts.
