We help you balance security with accessibility, choosing tools and successors that fit your family and your assets.

Definition and Explanation of Digital Asset Planning

Digital asset planning catalogs online accounts, digital currencies, and other virtual property, and outlines who may access or manage them under your instructions and Wisconsin law.

Key Elements and Processes in Digital Asset Planning

Core elements include asset inventory, access instructions, trusted contacts, beneficiary designations, secure storage of passwords, and clear probate instructions.

Key Terms and Glossary

This glossary explains terms commonly used in digital asset planning.

Digital Asset

Digital asset: any digitally stored item you own, such as accounts, files, crypto holdings, or digital media.

Access Authority

Beneficiary

A person or entity named to receive assets or manage digital assets after death or incapacity.

Why a Comprehensive Digital Asset Plan Is Needed:

Reason 1: Ensures access, privacy, and continuity

Reason 2: Aligns with overall estate strategy

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a digital asset plan if I already have a will?

Yes, a digital asset plan complements your will by addressing assets that may not be covered by a traditional testament. It provides specific instructions for access, privacy, and management of online accounts and digital property. If you already have documents, we can integrate them into a cohesive digital asset plan.

Designate someone you trust to understand your goals and privacy preferences. Consider a backup person in case the primary holder is unavailable. We help you document roles clearly within your plan to avoid ambiguity.

We prioritize security by recommending strong password practices, secure storage, and clearly defined access controls. Your plan can include encryption, password managers, and restricted permissions to protect sensitive information.

A well drafted plan can enhance privacy by limiting disclosure to only the people you authorize. It also sets boundaries for what information is shared and with whom, according to your instructions.

If you forget a password, your plan can specify recovery procedures and trusted contacts. We outline safe methods to regain access without compromising security.

Digital assets can affect probate timelines and administration if not properly organized. A plan helps integrate digital property with your overall estate strategy to reduce delays and uncertainty.

We recommend a regular review, at least annually or after major life changes, to update accounts, access, and beneficiaries.

Costs vary with the complexity of assets and the level of detail. We provide transparent pricing after an initial assessment and aim to deliver clear value by preventing future complications.

Yes. Digital asset plans should adapt to changes in assets, services, and platforms. We guide you through safe updates that maintain security and accuracy.

Timelines depend on asset scope and client readiness. A typical initial plan can be completed in a few weeks, followed by ongoing updates as needed.
