Nobody likes to think about their death, but it’s something thatwe all must prepare for.

Then jot down in the name of the person you would like to make your Legacy Contact.

You have the option to send them a message to let them know, but it’s not required.

Otherwise, they’ll notified when Facebook becomes aware of your passing.

That’s all there is to it.

It also keeps your account from becoming dormant, possibly to be hacked into later on.

it’s possible for you to learn more about Legacy Contacts at the link below.

Update: reckon it’s the option is rolling out to everyone over time.

If you don’t have it yet, you’ll probably get it soon.
