Digital Death Planning for Nomads - Letter #9 | DeathNote Community Letters

Special considerations for digital legacy planning when your life spans multiple countries and jurisdictions. How location-independent professionals can plan their digital death across borders.

English

Dear friends,

You've built a life that transcends borders, time zones, and traditional notions of "home." Your office might be a café in Lisbon today and a co-working space in Bangkok tomorrow. But this beautiful freedom creates unique challenges when planning for digital death—challenges that traditional estate planning simply wasn't designed to handle.

Where will you die? Which country's laws will govern your digital assets? How will your family access accounts scattered across different platforms and jurisdictions? These aren't morbid questions—they're practical realities that every nomad needs to consider.

Your nomadic lifestyle also means you've likely built deep connections with people around the world—friends who hosted you in different cities, local connections who became meaningful relationships, fellow nomads you met along the way. These global relationships deserve final messages just as much as your family back home.

Consider documenting not just your love for people, but the specific places and experiences that shaped you. Your final messages can preserve the stories of your travels, the lessons you learned from different cultures, and the gratitude you feel for a life lived without borders.

Your nomadic life is proof that meaningful connections and love transcend geography. Let your final messages reflect that same borderless approach to human connection.
