What is a Social Media Addendum to Will?

A Social Media Addendum to Will can tack on additional, digital, information to your existing will. It's not just your Facebook and Twitter at stake, what about access to your email and online accounts? A Social Media Addendum to Will can be a very helpful addition in a digitally driven world. 
 
You might not think of your digital assets when drafting a will, but a Social Media Addendum to Will can be a smart move if you have an online presence. You want to make sure loved ones can access all of your digital accounts when you pass, after all, you probably have a lot of important information there. And what about your accounts that are solely online? What about your email? Today, a lot of your daily life revolves around the internet. Maybe you use cloud storage for important documents, or maybe you own a profitable site. What we put in a will is different now than it's been before; a Social Media Addendum to Will is an easy way to include everything.

When to use a Social Media Addendum to Will:

  • You want to make changes to a current will that includes digital information.
  • You'd like to ensure your Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, email and other accounts are taken care of when you pass.

Many states require only two witnesses, but the signature of a third witness provides some protection against the possibility that one of the witness' signature will be invalid for some reason. For example, a person should not be a witness if that person is a beneficiary under the Will or the Addendum. In most states, if a beneficiary's signature is counted in order to satisfy the minimum number of witnesses, then the Will or Addendum is not necessarily invalidated, but that "interested witness" may not receive a share of the estate any larger than if the Will writer had died without a will.Vermont requires three witnesses.
