Facebook ‘Legacy Contact’ can take over your account when you die.

Facebook is letting users designate a “legacy contact” that can take control of an account after their death.

               A legacy contact is someone you choose to look after your account if it's memorialized.

If you want to enable this feature follow the given steps:
Open your settings. Choose Security and then Legacy Contact at the bottom of the page.

 

After choosing your legacy contact, you’ll have the option to send a message to that person.

 

You may give your legacy contact permission to download an archive of the posts, photos and profile info you’ve shared on Facebook.

Facebook also redesigned memorialized profiles to pay tribute to the deceased by adding “Remembering” above their name and making it possible for their legacy contact to pin a post to the top of their Timeline.






It has been introduced in US and they are looking forward to expand it soon worldwide.
