What Happens to Your Facebook Account When You Die?
 

When you sign up for a website, you are agreeing to terms of license, so any ?assets? under that license fall under licensing rules, says Florida-based estate planning lawyer David Goldman.

If you have an iTunes account, and you purchase music through that account, when you die the license for that account expires. The same principle applies to Facebook or Twitter, so when you die the license to all the content generated on that account, technically, expires. So if people gain access to these accounts after the user has died, it could be a liability, Goldman says. Legally speaking, once someone passes, their licenses to all that media expires.

?If you have an iPhone, you?d have hundreds of dollars worth of apps or thousands of dollars worth of music. When you die those licenses expire,?

Do they cancel your account for inactivity? If so, how long do you have to not log in to get it deleted?

People poke you... but you dont poke back :Oh crap

I remember a while back there was a site that linked stories, photos, etc. of people's deaths with their MySpace profile. I can't remember the name of it but it was pretty sad reading through the comments friends and family would leave.

i'll be dead, i won't really care about some music or my facebook profile...

It's Facebooks decision. They own everything on your profile.
