Facebook recently announced that it would grant users control over what happens to their Facebook pages after they die. Starting immediately, users should see a new option pop up in their security settings that will let them choose whether they want to pass their information and account management over to someone else when the time comes. While this is not something that people like to talk about, the truth is it has become a growing issue. Questions about how to handle situations like this are popping up all the time in technology help columns and blog posts. Google offers a similar tool to let you decide what to do with the trove of e-mail and other data you might have stored should your account become inactive for a certain amount of time.
