You've used PayPal for myriad transactions, from online shopping, sending money to friends, to receiving payments for your freelance gigs.

PayPal, in accordance with its User Agreement, allows the executor or legal heir of your estate to access your account after your death. The executor can then manage your balance, transaction history, and other associated data as per your estate plan.
