Understanding Digital Asset Planning

Digital asset planning aligns online assets with your overall estate strategy.

This includes inventorying accounts, setting access instructions, and naming trusted individuals to manage digital property.

Definition and Explanation

Digital assets are electronic records with value or meaning, such as email archives, cloud storage, cryptocurrency, photos, and social media profiles.

Inventory, access designations, security measures, and ongoing updates as technology changes.

A plan that describes how your digital assets are managed and distributed after death.

Digital Executor or Trustee

Comparison of Legal Options

Wills, trusts, and other tools each play a role in digital asset planning, depending on your goals and family needs.

When a Limited Approach Is Sufficient:

Small digital estates

If you have a limited number of digital assets and straightforward wishes, a simple plan may meet your needs.

Why a Comprehensive Legal Approach Is Needed:

Complex digital estates

If you hold multiple platforms, privacy concerns arise, or you expect organizers for heirs, a full plan is best.

Coordinating with traditional estate tools

A comprehensive approach synchronizes digital assets with wills, trusts, and powers of attorney.

Benefits of a Comprehensive Approach

It protects privacy and streamlines asset transfer to heirs.
