Ever wondered how everyone in your life will know if you’ve passed away?
Don’t worry, there’s an app for that now.
The “If I Die” app for Facebook allows users to record posts, messages with a final goodbye, advice, a final insult, the list goes on. Then after messages are recorded, users may select trustee’s who may access or post those messages when you die, according to FoxNews.com.
The trustees, or friends that you assigned must verify your death and then your posts will be made public. The posts can either be release all at once, or, on a schedule, reported FoxNews.com.
The article sourced Steven M. Fox, who is a member of the Tax and Estate Planning practice group at law firm Buchalter Nemer; the app does not have any legal standing, for instance, if you’d like to change your will.
The messages, of course hold meaning, but if looked at in a legal aspect, there is not hold.
Also, it is too easily forged, and there is no way to validate the request from the deceased.
Though this app is looked at as morbid, there have been some positive opinions.
Each person has something final they’d like to say, a mark or something about us, and this is a way to do that, according to FoxNews.com.
Co-founder and CEO Eran Alfonta got the idea after he got into an accident in Italy and his family and friends suggested for him to create a service where messages could be recorded and shown to only their kids if something happened.
