Your LinkedIn profile is a dynamic reflection of your professional journey. It chronicles your career milestones, achievements, and connections. But have you ever considered what happens to your LinkedIn account when you die?

LinkedIn, understanding the need to address this digital legacy, provides a clear option for managing your account after death: Account Deletion.

Account Deletion

LinkedIn's policy allows a connection, colleague, or immediate family member to request the deactivation of your account after your death. This ensures that your professional information and interactions are removed from LinkedIn, leaving no digital trace of your account.

Memorialization

Unlike some platforms, LinkedIn does not currently offer a memorialization option. Once an account is deactivated, it cannot be accessed or used to view past interactions or achievements.

While LinkedIn provides a way to manage your account after your death, it requires careful planning and communication with your connections or family members. This is where Snug steps in.

At Snug, we understand the importance of managing your digital legacy. Our platform helps you plan account deactivation after your demise. We ensure that your wishes are communicated clearly, thus reducing potential confusion and distress for your loved ones and professional connections.

But Snug is more than just managing your LinkedIn afterlife. We offer a comprehensive solution to estate planning, aiding you to manage your digital assets, financial matters, and end-of-life wishes in a user-friendly and secure platform.

Our services include:

  1. Digital Estate Planning: We help you catalogue your digital footprint, including professional networks, social media, emails, and online banking, and decide their fate after your death.
  2. Document Storage: Securely store important documents such as wills, trusts, and insurance policies on our platform.
  3. End-of-Life Planning: Record your preferences for funeral arrangements, organ donation, and other end-of-life decisions.
  4. Legacy Projects: Create projects that capture your life story and values to pass on to future generations.

In our digital age, it's essential to plan for your online presence after death. Snug allows you to address this need with confidence, ensuring your digital legacy is managed according to your wishes and providing a sense of peace to your loved ones and professional connections.

Snug is more than just planning for death; it's about celebrating life and ensuring that your legacy lives on, both in the hearts of your loved ones and in the professional world.
