In Bayside, digital asset planning is a key part of a solid estate plan, helping you protect online accounts, digital property, and cryptocurrencies for your loved ones.
This guide explains how to inventory assets, appoint a digital executor, and integrate digital plans with traditional wills, trusts, and power of attorney.

We help you inventory assets, designate a digital executor, and implement security measures to protect privacy while ensuring access for the right people.
Digital asset planning is the process of identifying, securing, and coordinating access to digital possessions to support your overall estate plan.
Inventorying assets, collecting login information securely, assigning beneficiaries, setting access controls, and keeping plans up to date are core elements.
Below are common terms used in digital asset planning to help you navigate the process.
A digital asset is any electronic item with value or significance, including online accounts, files, cryptocurrencies, and digital wallets.
A digital executor is the person designated to manage digital assets according to your instructions, subject to applicable laws and privacy considerations.
A beneficiary designation specifies who will receive digital assets and login details after you pass away.
An account inventory lists all digital assets, usernames, passwords, and access protocols in a secure, retrievable format.
Common approaches include a traditional will, a trust, or a digital asset plan integrated with your estate plan.
If you have a small number of assets and straightforward access, a lean plan may be enough to meet your objectives.
A simplified approach can save time and costs while still protecting loved ones.
A full plan collects passwords, access instructions, and online service preferences to avoid gaps.
