AFP – Google on Thursday began letting people plan out what is to be done with their digital photos, documents and other virtual belongings after they die or become incapacitated.

An “Inactive Account Manager” can be used to direct Google to pass on data from online venues such as Google Drive, Gmail, YouTube, or social network Google+ to particular people or be deleted after being dormant for too long.

“What should happen to your photos, emails and documents when you stop using your account?” Google said in a message at an account settings page.

“You might want your data to be shared with a trusted friend or family member, or, you might want your account to be deleted entirely,” the message continued.
