Ever wondered what happens to your Apple account when you’re no longer around? 📱
When someone passes away, their Apple account doesn't automatically get closed. Instead, Apple provides options for family members and legal representatives to access the deceased's digital legacy. Here’s what you need to know:
1. Legacy Contact: If the deceased designated a Legacy Contact, that person can request access to the account and data.
2. Court Order: Without a Legacy Contact, a court order may be required to access the deceased's Apple ID and data.
3. Data Access: Approved individuals can gain access to important data like photos, emails, and notes, but some services may remain inaccessible.
💡 Solution: In Life Vault, you can store a Legacy Contact for your Apple account. This means your executors and attorney will have all the required details to retrieve your credentials when the time comes.
