Will provision — access to e-mail, other electronic accounts

In the spirit of sharing the wealth -- and in keeping with the times -- ISBA member Ron Runkle of Grayslake offers the following paragraph to his fellow lawyers for inclusion in wills where appropriate: "My executor (or the person designated to be executor if no probate estate is opened) should be given full access to my emails, my email accounts, my websites, my blogs, and shall have full power and  authority to receive my passwords and cancel any email accounts that I have.  My executor (or the person designated to be executor if no probate estate is opened) shall have full power and authority to deal with any accounts, websites, or blogs that I have with Facebook, Pay Pal, Yahoo, Myspace, Twitter, LinkedIn, Amazon.com or other similar service/company in the same manner that I could if I were alive (and to receive a refund of any monies due me).  My executor (or the person designated to be executor if no probate estate is opened) shall have full authority to deal with any telephone companies that I have service with, and to cancel or modify any service agreement that I have with such companies."
