Facebook is now giving users the power to name a "legacy contact" who will be empowered to manage your profile after you pass away. In a sense, they're like a “Techexecutor.” The obvious benefit is allowing you to determine who manages your Facebook page. The current policy was for Facebook to simply freeze the account, which caused frustration and emotional stress for loved ones.
Legacy contacts will have the power to write a post to display at the top of your memorialized profile page, change the profile picture, and even respond to new friend requests on your behalf. If they’re granted prior permission, legacy contacts can also download an archive of posts and photos from the deceased, but not the contents of his or her private messages.
