Digital asset planning helps you control access and preserve privacy. It also provides clear instructions for your trusted individuals so they know exactly what to do after you’re unable to manage accounts yourself. Inventory your assets and document how you want each item handled to prevent delays.
The digital executor should be someone you trust to follow your instructions and handle sensitive information carefully. This person can be a family member, friend, or professional fiduciary who understands your wishes and the legal requirements for accessing digital assets. We’ll help you choose someone who fits your situation and ensure they have the necessary guidance.
Updates are important as technology and your circumstances change. Review your plan after major life events, such as a move, birth, marriage, divorce, or the addition of new online assets. Regular reviews help keep your plan accurate and effective.
Yes, many social media platforms offer legacy or memorial options, and you can set these up to reflect your wishes. A formal digital asset plan provides detailed directions for what should happen to these accounts, including archiving or privacy settings. We can help you document your preferences clearly.
While you can draft basic documents on your own, a lawyer helps ensure your plan aligns with Wisconsin law and your broader estate plan. A professional can tailor instructions, address security concerns, and reduce the chance of disputes among heirs.
Share enough information to guide access and administration while protecting sensitive details. This may include a list of accounts, preferred executors, and any privacy or security preferences. We provide secure, organized formats to minimize risk.
Digital asset planning interacts with taxes when asset transfer and estate taxation rules apply. We help you structure your plan so asset transfers occur smoothly within your overall tax and estate strategies, avoiding unnecessary complications.
If you forget a password, having a documented plan with recovery steps and trusted contacts can help. We advise secure methods for storing access information and procedures for handling forgotten credentials.
Costs vary with complexity. A simple plan may be affordable, while a comprehensive approach reflects more assets and coordination with other estate documents. Think of it as protecting your legacy and reducing potential delays for those you love.
Planning time depends on the scope of your assets and your responsiveness. A typical process can take several weeks, including discovery, drafting, and final review, with flexibility to fit your schedule.
