More details to this question:
I am trying to get ready to plan for end of life, but have no one to appoint as a health care proxy, medical/patient advocate, executor, or digital fiduciary. I have no spouse, siblings, or children. My friends are older than me, living out-of-state, and/or would not be up to the task of serving in a demanding position. All my assets are in digital accounts online -- no property, vehicles, or valuables.

While an attorney can be named as executor of your estate including your digital estate, you will need someone else to serve as your agent for health and financial matters while you are alive. In many areas there is a non-profit who will serve. Some geriatric care managers will also serve.

This is general information. It cannot substitute for a personal consultation with an attorney. It is not intended to be legal advice or imply an attorney-client relationship.
