Yes. Including digital assets in your estate plan helps ensure access and control after death or incapacity. We tailor provisions for online accounts, crypto wallets, and other digital property. Our team explains options clearly and helps you decide who should have access. We also address security and privacy considerations to protect sensitive information. The goal is to provide a practical, enforceable plan that aligns with Wisconsin law.
Digital assets include social media profiles, email and cloud storage, online subscriptions, and crypto wallets. Planning helps prevent data loss, ensures guardians or executors can manage these assets, and reduces delays in settlement. Wisconsin law recognizes digital assets as part of your overall estate plan when properly addressed.
Typically, a trusted secondary signer or a designated digital executor within your will or power of attorney handles access. It’s important to appoint someone you trust and to provide clear instructions. We help you create secure access protocols and update documents as needed.
We recommend reviewing your digital asset plan at least once a year or after major life events such as marriage, divorce, birth, death, or changes to online services. Regular updates keep credentials current and ensure new platforms are covered.
Passwords should be stored securely, using encrypted password managers with limited access. We advise best practices for sharing access only with trusted individuals and keeping recovery options up to date.
DIY tools can help with simple situations, but a licensed attorney ensures compliance with Wisconsin law, accounts for complex digital portfolios, and coordinates documents with your overall estate plan. This reduces gaps and potential disputes.
If a password is forgotten, a pre-established password manager and access plan, plus delegated authority, helps recover or access accounts. We guide you on creating contingency procedures to avoid losses.
Some digital assets may be probated, depending on how they are titled and controlled. A proper plan can help direct how these assets are handled and transferred, potentially simplifying settlement.
The setup time varies with the complexity of your digital portfolio. A straightforward plan can take a few weeks; more extensive portfolios may require longer collaboration to ensure accuracy and integration with your overall estate plan.
Bring a list of major online accounts, known passwords or access methods, your current estate documents, and any concerns about how digital assets should be handled. We provide a checklist for a productive first meeting.
