Motion to Spill – Episode 004: Who Gets Your Netflix Passwords and Other Questions You Should Be Asking

In this episode of Motion to Spill, Sarah and Meghan kick off a new series on estate planning with a surprising twist: what happens to your digital life when you die. From Netflix passwords to Amazon Prime accounts, they explore how streaming services and online platforms treat accounts as non‑transferable licenses—and why that matters for families left behind. The conversation digs into real‑world scenarios around wills, property ownership, and blended families, highlighting common misconceptions like “my spouse automatically gets everything.” They share cautionary tales of houses lost, messy probate battles, and the importance of adding simple protections like right of survivorship or tenancy by the entirety. Finally, they introduce the concept of a “digital executor”—a role designed to manage online assets from email and Dropbox to crypto wallets and social media. With humor and practical advice, Sarah and Meghan show how estate planning isn’t just about houses and bank accounts anymore, but also about safeguarding the digital footprints we leave behind.
