Your Facebook Legacy Can Live On After You’re Gone — Dave’s Diary

The conversation might go a little something like this: “We all have to go sometime, so kids, to make easier on you later, let me just say that Mary gets the house when I’m gone, Don gets the cars and Wally -- the best for last -- YOU get my Facebook page”!It might sound morbid, but now you can even decide what you want done with your Facebook account after you die!

Previously, Facebook automatically froze the accounts of deceased members it learned had died, angering some heirs who wanted to edit the deceased's online presence.

The social network is now allowing you to decide by establishing what it calls a "legacy contact" to be assigned to your account posthumously. Facebook legacy contacts will be able to manage accounts in a way that can turn the deceased person's Facebook page into a kind of digital gravestone.

The new options were rolled out in the U.S. on Feb. 12.

But if that’s not for you, don’t worry. You can also choose to have you presence deleted entirely.
