Who do you want to be able to read your old emails when you die? Are the dead entitled to privacy? Jolyon Jenkins reports on the increasingly contentious issue of our digital legacy.
As we lead more of our lives online, we leave behind an ever bigger digital footprint when we go.

Sorting out the digital legacy is becoming as onerous as being a traditional executor.
Trees4Scotland was founded in 2008 and is dedicated to planting native permanent woodlands in Scotland. Supporters can purchase and dedicate their very own tree to a family member, or loved one, and have that tree marked forever by a plaque on a wooden plinth engraved with the message of their choice.
