Facebook Allows Users to Appoint Posthumous “Legacy Contact”

On February 12, 2015, Facebook implemented a new policy that provides users the option to designate a “legacy contact” to manage their accounts after death. The legacy contact will be able to write a post to be displayed at the top of the decedent’s memorialized Timeline, respond to new friend requests, and update the account’s profile picture and cover photo. However, the contact will not be able to see the decedent’s private messages.
