[SPAM] RE: [WSBAPT] webcease

[Karen E. Boxx]

Beth - I can't give a good answer because my only exposure was this
presentation.  The presenter said the idea came to him after a family
member died and they had to go through this for the family member.  I
think the point is that they know where to look and there's a lot on the
internet that's not "readily available."  he said that they always find
accounts that the family didn't know about. Their website gives a pretty
good explanation of what the service entails.  I think it would be
especially helpful if your decedent was single and likely to do personal
business online.  The presenter said that they did a search for a 91 year
old man who didn't even use email, and they found a hotel rewards account,
and were able to help the family claim that account. someone in the
audience said that he wants all probates handled by his firm to have
searches done.   It would be interesting to hear from anyone who's
actually used them!

this company gleans this information?  Is it based upon info provided to
them which is not available on the web or is it all readily available and
they just take the time to compile it?

interest.  this is no endorsement! I really don't know anything about
their services outside of this presentation.  it's called webcease, it's
out of portland, and for $529 ($399 for lawyers doing searches for
clients), it will search and prepare a report on a decedent's online
presence (including online shopping, travel loyalty accounts, social media
etc.).  this helps to find assets as well as to prevent identity theft
(which apparently is common with the newly deceased).
