A system for managing digital content, the system comprising:

• a memory comprising instructions;
• and
• a processor configured to execute the instructions which, when executed, cause the processor to:
• receive a succession plan request from a first user device to initiate a succession plan to designate ownership rights to digital content owned by an owner associated with the first user device and an owner account;
• receive succession information of at least one successor;
• determine whether payment associated with the owner account is missed;
• transmit, in response to determining that payment associated with the owner account is missed, a notification to the first user device notifying the owner that payment is missed;
• archive, based on a determination that an owner response to the notification is absent, the digital content;
• transmit, after a predetermined period of time of unresponsiveness of the owner response, a first communication to the at least one successor to accept ownership of the digital content;
• and
• designate, in response to acceptance of the first communication to the at least one successor to accept ownership of the digital content, ownership of the digital content to the at least one successor.
