My brother recently passed away, and I was the legacy contact on his device.

For as much as I google about this, all I see is how to set it up. Not how the process actually goes for USING it when the time finally comes and what you get access to.

Does anyone have any experience using legacy contact after they pass? What did it really allow and not allow?

Like I can get into it with his PIN code, but so many passwords to stuff like banking is locked behind Face ID. I can't get into the paswords app where I really need to get into so I can figure out how to pay his utiltiies and that stuff. So really all I can get is camera roll, get his contacts from text messages, and access to email that's logged in while it's STILL logged in. I assume at some point I'll have to reenter passwords and be screwed on that. Ha, this is probably the stuff that Legacy Contact WOULDN'T have access too AFAIK.

Any insight would be great.

So I’ve inherited a ton of Detroit Tigers memorabilia from my brother. It’s overwhelming. While I want to keep SOME of it, I am just puzzled with what to do about it. Things like… seats from the original Tiger Stadium type stuff. I’d have nowhere to put it or know where to start.

Thought I’d ask to start getting ideas as I figure things out.

I know "talk to a lawyer, blah blah blah" but planning funeral stuff and my anxiety is sky high and I just want to get people's opinions before I meet with mine later this week for the first time.

My brother passed, and things are a mess. I am discovering tons of accounts, he had a small business as well I am sorting out where most of the info was in his head.

I know we need to start probate, but are there people I can hire to run the day-to-day stuff? Like make sure the bills are being paid on the house until it's sold, help get auto pays shut off on expenses that I'm not noticing? It's overwhelming, and I have no idea how I'm going to do this stuff on my own.

A recruiting company reached out to me through LinkedIn for a job that is probably my dream job. I have a friend that works for the company, and confirmed that the recruiting company is legit, and the company is moving more toward using recruiters to find people for roles than doing it themselves. Nothing about this so far has raised flags of a scam. I've actually worked for this company before in a freelance capacity, and the job description is spot on with what I know about them.

The role is for a 1 year contract with potential for renewal. However, the position is a W2 position with the recruiting company with their benefits, not the actual company I would be working for.

I am just curious how this works long term. The company has not posted this position publicly, so I could not go around the recruiter and just apply directly. And my friend told me that they sometimes hire people full time from recruiters if the position is critical and needs to be filled.

I know this is a thing I would want to specifically as the recruiter/company about, but I'm curious about if others have had experience shifting from working for the recruiter to the company itself and how that happened.
