Photos, account records, personal writing and practical instructions can be scattered across years of devices and services. Digital inheritance starts with understanding what exists and explaining what you would like people to find.
People use “digital inheritance” to describe what happens to digital records, accounts and memories after someone dies. OscarOK helps organise and release information you prepare; it does not transfer account ownership, money or legal rights.
01
Make an inventory before choosing what to share
List important services, the kinds of information they hold and why they matter. Distinguish a family photo collection from account paperwork or something connected with work. You do not need to put every file in one place to make the map useful. A clear location and an explanation can be enough to get someone started.
02
Check each provider’s own arrangements
Some services offer a way to nominate a legacy contact or plan for inactivity. Google documents an Inactive Account Manager; Apple documents a Legacy Contact feature. Review the relevant provider’s current instructions and record what you have set up. OscarOK does not replace those provider processes or unlock their accounts.
03
Separate memories from administration
A relative who wants family photographs may not need your business records. Create different vault items, name them clearly and select recipients. Explain whether a file is a copy, where the original is kept and who can answer questions about it.
04
Keep an independent copy of what matters
Use an appropriate backup for irreplaceable records and keep your own plan current. OscarOK is a controlled information-sharing service, not an unlimited archive for every digital asset. Each released item or message has its own 30-day access window, including its attachments. Recipients need to save anything they want to keep during that window.
Your starting checklist
List significant accounts, devices and file collections.
Record which provider legacy arrangements you have configured.
Explain where copies and original records are kept.
Select recipients for memories and practical instructions separately.
Review the inventory when a provider or account changes.
Common questions
Does OscarOK transfer digital assets to my family?
No. OscarOK shares designated information and files through its release process. Ownership, authority and access to another service are separate matters.
Can I use OscarOK alongside Google or Apple legacy settings?
Yes. Your vault can describe the arrangements you have made and where to find the relevant instructions. OscarOK does not integrate with or override those services.
