Digital Legacy Planning for African Families

Family records are increasingly digital

Photos, IDs, certificates, videos, memorial pages, and private family records often live in cloud accounts or phones. Without a plan, families can lose access when a device is lost or a relative passes away.

Access should be intentional

Not every family record should be public. Families need a simple way to decide who can view, edit, download, or publish sensitive materials.

Plan the handover

Digital legacy planning means choosing trusted contacts, organizing important documents, and making clear what should happen to family sites, archives, and records over time.
