Understanding Digital Asset Planning

Digital asset planning identifies what assets exist online and how you want them handled after you pass away or become unable to act.

We inventory assets, set access permissions, and appoint trusted individuals to manage digital affairs according to your preferences.

Definition and Explanation

Digital asset planning is the process of organizing online assets, passwords, and account authorities to ensure orderly transition and control.

When a Limited Approach Is Sufficient:

Practical Scenarios for a Limited Approach

Full Asset Coverage

A comprehensive plan captures every type of digital asset and establishes clear access for trusted individuals.

Ongoing Updates and Coordination

Regular reviews ensure changes in accounts and services are reflected in your plan, reducing risk during probate.

Benefits of a Comprehensive Approach

Clear roles, streamlined access, and fewer delays for your beneficiaries.

A well-structured plan lowers administrative burden and protects privacy.

Clear Instructions for Executors and Beneficiaries

Detailed, accessible instructions prevent confusion and mismanagement.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Yes, a digital asset plan complements your will and other documents by detailing how online assets should be handled. It specifies access rights, transfer instructions, and care for accounts that may not be covered by traditional instruments. Our team helps you determine what should be included and how to store information securely.

Include all active online accounts, cloud storage, cryptocurrency wallets, email, social media profiles, and any services with valuable data. If you’re unsure, we can help you compile a comprehensive inventory and decide how each asset should be managed.

Typically a trusted family member, power of attorney, or digital executor you designate who can access accounts and carry out transfers. We advise on suitability, privacy concerns, and legal authority.

Use a secure password manager and limit who can access it. Do not write passwords in notes or emails. We guide you on safe sharing practices within a legal framework.

Yes. Your plan can be updated as assets change, new services appear, or your family circumstances evolve. We’ll guide you through a straightforward updating process.

Wisconsin recognizes digital asset planning as part of modern estate planning. We tailor plans to your local laws and specific circumstances in Rothschild and broader Wisconsin.

If you prefer not to share passwords directly, we can document secure access protocols and use alternative methods that still meet legal requirements.
