In the era of shared economy, platforms like Airbnb have become an intrinsic part of our travel experiences. But one question that often goes unanswered is: what happens to your Airbnb account when you die?

Airbnb, as a global platform, has procedures in place to handle a user's account after their demise, prioritizing user privacy and security.

Account Deactivation

Immediate family members or estate executors can contact Airbnb's customer service to request the deactivation of a deceased user's account, provided they have the necessary legal documentation.

Reservation Management

In the event of a host's death, Airbnb works with the host's representative to address active reservations, either by cancelling them or allowing the representative to host, depending on the circumstances.

While these options provide some control over your digital afterlife, they necessitate planning and clear communication with your loved ones. This is where Snug steps in.

Snug is designed to help you navigate your digital legacy easily. We assist in creating comprehensive estate plans, organizing all of life's details in one secure place.

Our platform allows you to express your wishes regarding your Airbnb account, be it account deactivation or reservation management. We ensure your instructions are communicated clearly, providing your loved ones with necessary guidance during a challenging time.

But Snug's services extend beyond managing your Airbnb afterlife. We adopt a holistic approach to estate planning, assisting you in managing your digital assets, financial affairs, and end-of-life wishes, all within an easy-to-use, secure platform.

Our services include:

  1. Digital Estate Planning: We help you catalogue your digital presence, from social media accounts to online subscriptions, and decide what happens to them after your death.
  2. Document Storage: You can securely store important documents such as wills, trusts, and insurance policies on our platform.
  3. End-of-Life Planning: Record your wishes for funeral arrangements, organ donation, and other crucial end-of-life decisions.
  4. Legacy Projects: Create meaningful projects that encapsulate your life story and values for future generations.

In a world where our digital presence continues to expand, managing your online presence after death has become an equally important consideration. With Snug, you can navigate this modern reality, ensuring your digital legacy is handled according to your wishes, providing a roadmap for your loved ones.

Snug is more than just planning for the endβ€”it's about preserving your life's story and ensuring your legacy is carried forward, both in the hearts of those you love and in the digital realm.
