How to organize digital assets before you die

Step-by-step: list assets, reduce accounts, document recovery paths, and store legacy intent in one place — e.g. Legacy OS.

Step one: list domains, email, finance, cloud, creative work, and hardware. Step two: delete what no longer matters — fewer accounts means fewer failure points.

Step three: document recovery: two-factor backup codes, registered devices, and who can request data from providers under applicable policies.

Step four: store intent in a legacy workspace with roles and timing — so execution does not depend on one brittle inbox.

Iterate quarterly

Digital life changes faster than paper. A quarterly review keeps the plan honest.

Your Legacy workspace data is hosted in the EU (Supabase EU region) — GDPR-aligned infrastructure.
