Previously, we discussed Facebook's policy upon the death of its users.
MySpace has no set policy when it comes to the profiles of deceased users. It seems MySpace would handle each incident on a case-by-case basis which would require some sort of notification from the deceased user's family regarding the wishes of the family if the user had no specific indication. MySpace will not allow anyone to "assume control" of the user's profile, however it won't rule out giving families access to the user's private data. MySpace does not delete profiles after periods of inactivity, but will remove a deceased user's profile at the family's request.
If that does not provide you with the comfort you need, start your estate planning today. Leave your comment or contact us at http://www.ythlaw.com%20t/
