Importance and Benefits of Digital Asset Planning

A well-crafted plan reduces uncertainty, protects privacy, and makes it easier for your trusted people to manage online assets after you’re gone or unable to act.

Overview of Our Firm and Attorneys' Experience

Our Wisconsin-based team combines practical planning with clear guidance to help you protect digital assets and preserve your legacy.

Understanding Digital Asset Planning

Digital assets include online accounts, stored files, cryptocurrency, and other data that have value or personal meaning. Planning defines who can access these assets and how they are managed.

Your plan fits within your broader estate plan, coordinating with wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and privacy preferences.

Definition and Explanation

Digital asset planning outlines who should access digital property, under what conditions, and how transfers should occur after death or incapacity.

Key Elements and Processes

Inventory of assets, access instructions, trusted contacts, secure storage, and ongoing updates form the core of a solid plan.

Key Terms and Glossary

Common terms explained to help you understand digital asset planning and how it supports your estate plan.

Digital Asset

Any online account, file, or digital resource with value, significance, or personal meaning that you want protected or transferred.

Digital Executor

A trusted person named to manage digital assets in accordance with your instructions.

Access Authority

Permissions and credentials that allow others to access accounts and data as you specify.

Digital Legacy

Comparing Legal Options for Digital Asset Planning

Options range from simple directives to a comprehensive digital asset plan that works alongside your will and other documents.

When a Limited Approach Is Sufficient:

Reason 1: Simpler needs

For straightforward asset sets, a concise plan or directive may be enough to guide access.

Reason 2: Limited assets

If assets and access are limited, a lighter document can provide clear instructions without unnecessary complexity.

Why a Comprehensive Digital Asset Plan Is Needed:

Reason 1: Complex assets

Reason 2: Family and privacy considerations

Benefits of a Comprehensive Digital Asset Planning Approach

A thorough plan reduces confusion and avoids disputes among heirs.

It helps preserve memories, protects privacy, and streamlines transfers to heirs or trustees.

Clarity and control for your digital world

A complete plan gives step-by-step guidance for managing online accounts and data.

Smooth access for loved ones

Authorized individuals can access assets promptly with clear instructions and credentials.
