Other relative insists you were of diminished capacity when you told her to delete it, leading to a drawn-out five-year legal battle over whether to pull life support on your Facebook page. 🙂 I do see the humor, but I doubt that this would ever happen. You don’t have a right to a Facebook account, certainly not one that survives you. AFAIK, Facebook can delete your account at will without recourse, which they’d probably do at the first whiff of a lawsuit just to be rid of the hassle. ---
