What happens to your e-mail when you die? - Forbes.com - MSNBC.comBest make sure your next of kin know where your various email accounts are, with user names and passwords - and don't forget things like PayPal, if you've got money there."My father had a niche Internet business," he says. "When he died last year at 71, he left no provision for the business. I couldn't access his accounts or pay suppliers, and I couldn't shut the business down. People run their lives through Outlook, but I couldn’t access that either, so I couldn’t reach his customers to inform them that he'd died."
(And you're a fool if you've got a bank savings account - they pay at most 1% - PayPal is paying 4.3% interest.)
