Digital Assets } Transfer images after death

Last few decades have completely changed the way we take and store pictures. Physical photographs are increasingly becoming things of past and photographs taken in digital formats are everywhere.

Digital photographs are easier to store, share and replicate on hard disk of a computer or on secure servers of photo sharing sites such as Picaasa, FlickR and so on. Photographs stored this way makes it a bit easier to manage them, but raises some very interesting questions.

  • -- Who owns these photographs after user passes away?

  • -- How these photographs are transferred to the legal hire of users?

  • -- Is it possible to stop legal user from accessing these photographs?

Unfortunately, there is no single answer for these questions and most of the services are clueless about these. There is no way to define beneficiaries and distribute photographs according to the way user wants.

Why digital photographs can be lost, locked or deleted after I pass away?

Your photographs can be lost, locked, deleted or transferred to the wrong people because of many reasons such as -

  • -- No one is aware that you are using a service such as FlickR, Picaasa, dropbox etc to store your digital assets

  • -- Your pictures are stored on a password protected disk and no one knows password

  • -- Service providers have different policies and people left behind might not have information needed to retrieve your assets

  • -- Your legal hires get access to your account after legal fight, but you wanted to keep those photographs secrete.

  • -- And may more...

In order to ensure that your digital photographs remain in safe hands and transferred to the people you want after you pass away, you need to do a bit more then just storing them on disk and services such as FlickR, picaasa and so on.
