Google Inactive Account Manager

Inactive Account Manager is a newly announced feature for Google users that lets them decide what will happen to their Google data after they die or are incapacitated. Should a Google user’s account become inactive, the account can be set to delete itself after a set time frame of inactivity. Alternatively, the user can designate one or more trusted contacts to receive the user’s Google data from a variety of services including Gmail, YouTube, Picasa, Drive, and more. Before taking any action the system sends warnings to the user’s mobile phone and secondary email.
