It's important to know how to manage a deceased person's PayPal account to ensure a smooth digital transfer of assets. Digital Rest offers a comprehensive solution to support loved ones through these delicate processes.

What is PayPal?

PayPal is a secure platform that facilitates financial transactions without having to share banking information. It acts as an intermediary for money transfers, whether between individuals or businesses.
