I’ve dealt with my mother passing and dealing with her estate. I can definitely say that a will can be very complex, especially when you have emotions involved. In my case we had a safety deposit box and it turned out for the better. As far as domains are concerned I would definitely say to include some sort of personalized video explaining the worth of such a domain portfolio along with the places to perhaps sell them.

Recent sad experience has let me know that you do not put things for your executor in your safety deposit box. Especially the will, since the box can not be opened without it! Make sure your executor is always up to date on your wishes on handling your assets, like your domains and sites.

Frankie,

I have seen this topic written about several times before but like leaving a Will you really can never get enough reminders until you actually follow through.

I must say I was particularly intrigued by those resources you listed.

I didn’t know these services existed and the other articles written about this topic that I have read did not offer up anything like them.

Considering modern technology and how easy it is to create your own videos, it might also be a good idea to create a video and include all the relevant info about your domaining business.

Then keep that video along with other important documents in your safety deposit box.

Thanks for the reminder.

Great infos but to be honest me too like many here, own a portfolio of valuable domains but didn’t give or write login and password to my relative in case of death simply because they don’t know what domains are, where to sell, what price, how to renew….. This is my business as far as I’m alive and if something sad happens, I won’t care loosing it all, you won’t take it in paradise! Now there is exeption it’s when you have a domain name you bought for $xxxxxx+ amount, I call this asset, you better have all infos about it and write in a letter.

Thanks for those comments. I think i might have a direction to head for with one or two of my domains names thanks to your thoughts. I was wondering what to do with afterdomainer.com and afterdomaining.com. Maybe they are worth something developed.
