## What Jamie wrote

Our computing lives get ever more complicated, and with that complication they become ever more integrated into our lives. Considering the destiny of our digital assets after we are gone is getting more complicated. This article does a decent job of going over the primary points. I do wonder if there isn't a new market here for a **digital estate service**. I could imagine a service that I give access to my password database, and inventory of various assets, that is able to bring the variety of expertise to bear to assist with transitioning your digital estate. Crypto is a great example. I’m not sure how comfortable Tammy would be able to transfer my digital assets from various wallets. I think we need to not rely on documentation, and instead thing about something more professional.
