I reckon to shoot a few videos showing your other half or who ever you plan on leaving your sites to, where all the stuff is.

Other than that, life insurance is a option although it doesn’t replace the income from the sites.

You are not alone! I too thought about this about a year 1/2 ago. I have since kept a list of all my sites, passwords etc. I have also created a squidoo lens called a webography that lists all my profiles, blogs, sites and affiate sites that I am associated with. I can print it and simply write the login and password information on it. Squidoo has an easy app. called Squidoo This to easily upload a page to a given module on any lens- with a few clicks of the mouse. This is very handy. Click on my name above to see how I have it set up. Or here: http://www.squidoo.com/my_profiles (if the link shows)

Thanks, After a certain period of time people will forget you. If you are famous enough you will seen in text books of school. This is the rapidly changing world so you have to keep on going.

Thanks for speaking up about this Darren. I think there is a generational difference in estate planning and proof is right here with all of this discussion. I have downloaded the Dovetail Organizer to gather all of our personal family information including the details of my small business (Virtual Assistant). This program is downloadable, secure and very easy to use. (www.dovetailorganizer.com) I even bought a copy for my parents to fill in. It seemed a little weird at first but we all agreed it was best to be informed and prepared than panicked and taken advantage of.

Good luck with your planning and here’s to your continued success!

i’ve always had this in my mind.

and sometimes i come across blogs/sites/myspace of people who had passed on. its rather emotional when users comments on his/her last post.

and then you around the blog’s archive. within an hour or so, you read the author’s going-ons (if its a personal blog). i did so once, recently. It was too sad for me.

anyways back to the topic: if one owns a living by problogging, he should have contingency plans when he passes on. be it in digital format or physical (notes/etc).

Interesting Article. I have been teaching my wife about our online business because you never know what tomorrow holds. I do PHP Programming and I do not expect my wife to start programming. However we do own a number of domains and things are starting to progress.

This is a timely article. Thanks you!

funny, since i’ve been asking my husban dthe same question too.

but again, ours aren’t profit generating like yours.

still, someone has to let our readers (read: friends) know that i/him/we are no longer around.

sheesh, it does sound horrible.

however, i’ve been thinking to give my id to some-blogging-friend whom i trust the most.

Now, next question, how would my friend knows that i am no longer around in this world?

expect more questions to arise..

just my two cents

[...] What to do if I die a horribly death (or a placid one)? Who will take care of the gadzillion dollars I earn with my blogs? Well, some well known probloggers have answers for that. I’m still not in their level, but am certain to reach then sooner than in a zillion years, much sooner. And I’m grateful for their piece of advice. [...]

[...] I recently had a couple of things occur around the same time that made me take a second look at this fact. Two articles by Eric Giguere and Darren Rowse where they talk about what they call AdSense Wills was the first thing; or was it the second – oh well it doesn’t really matter. The second thing was being told by my doctor that yes, you do have heart problems. [...]
