The Digital Death Clinic is dedicated to providing comprehensive education and training on the preparation of digital property for a client’s death and succession. By guiding professional advisors, their clients, and administrating fiduciaries through the complexities of digital asset succession, we strive to alleviate the complexities and emotional challenges that arise when locating and transitioning digital property. Together, we work towards a future where every individual’s legacy is preserved, ensuring a smooth asset transfer while delivering added services to advisors.
The Digital Death Clinic was founded out of necessity and personal experience. In 2013, our CEO, Lee Poskanzer, lost a close friend. Months later, he received a LinkedIn notification to congratulate his friend on a milestone—a stark reminder that digital lives continue even after physical lives end. Lee realized the emotional toll this could take on families, especially if they unexpectedly receive such reminders.
Determined to find a solution, Lee investigated what happens to digital accounts after death. He discovered that crucial assets like pictures, videos, emails, and documents often fall through the cracks ofntraditional estate planning. These digital assets can become lost or locked behind privacy policies, leaving families needing access. Lee saw the urgent need for proper digital estate management and created a service that fills this gap. Thus, The Digital Death Clinic was born.
Lee Poskanzer, our founder and CEO, brings over a decade of experience in digital property planning. Recognized as an industry expert, Lee has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, CNBC, NPR’s Marketplace, and the International Association of Privacy Professionals.
As a Certified end-of-life Doula, Lee combines his compassionate approach with extensive industry experience. He supports organizations in streamlining digital property preparation, settlement, and online etiquette while minimizing compliance risks.
Lee has also worked with Fortune 500 and 100 companies to establish new business units, focusing on business development, client management, and customer service. His ability to define processes and implement marketing strategies enriches his work at The Digital Death Clinic.
Lee states, “In today’s technological world, our legacies are at risk of being lost. My goal is to help advisors and their clients prepare effectively, offering tools and training to content providers for handling inquiries from estate representatives and loved ones.”
