For good or bad most of us lead increasingly digital lives. But how many of us think about our digital afterlife? What happens to our google docs, facebook posts and online bills after we die?

Evan Carroll is the co-author of the book "Your Digital Afterlife". He's concerned about the law. Photo Credit: Getty
