Abstract
In earlier days, it was easier to distribute the following assets as death of a person. But with the huge amount of data with the expansion of technology, there would be a great difficulty in storing that large amount of data after the person’s demise. Nowadays, people wallow too much in social networking sites, while they do not have any idea that how much data they provoke in their daily life. To safeguard and handle the data online, they need someone who can handle the accounts. A lot of problems can arise when executors attempt to access these digital assets left behind by the deceased. Many people do not have the clear idea about digital estate which they are handling. So, to prevent those unauthorized access to digital estate, one should know all the laws and the privacy rights related to the digital assets.
