Define the summary’s limited purpose
A collection summary does not create ownership, inheritance rights, or access to your Apple Account.
Prepare a selected factual copy
- Define the purpose and intended recipient.
- Select the item identities, relevant documents, and contacts.
- Keep private keys and account credentials out of the report.
- Prepare a free ordinary report or membership Collection Pack.
- Review the final copy and agree where it will be kept.
Explain the scope and source locations
The recipient should understand what the summary covers, when it was prepared, and where questions need a separate source.
Get advice for legal decisions
Estate and ownership decisions require appropriate advice for the jurisdiction. A factual report is one source of information, not a legal instrument.
