How to Assign a Legacy Contact for Your Account
A Legacy Contact is the person who will reach out on your behalf to Permanent.org to let us know of your death or permanent incapacitation. This will activate the Legacy Plans you have created for the archives you own on Permanent.org. You only need to assign one Legacy Contact for your account.
To assign a Legacy Contact for your account, navigate to your account settings by clicking your email in the top right corner of the screen, then clicking Account Settings.
In the new window that appears, click Legacy Contact on the left side of the screen. This will bring up the Legacy Contact page.
Click Assign Legacy Contact to begin. On the new page that appears, you will have options to fill in the name and email address of the person who you want to be your Legacy Contact.
Please note that your Legacy Contact does not need to be a member of Permanent.org.
Enter the name and email of your Legacy Contact, then click Save Legacy Contact.
You will be taken back to the main Legacy Contact page. Here, you will see your saved Legacy Contact information. If you need to make any edits to your Legacy Contact's information, you can click Edit Legacy Contact to make changes.
