Digital asset planning coordinates access, ownership, and transfer of digital property, including accounts, files, and rights you hold online.
It complements traditional wills and trusts by addressing how digital wealth is managed and released to beneficiaries while protecting sensitive information.
Digital asset planning is the process of identifying digital assets, establishing who may access them, and specifying how they should be handled when you are unable to manage them yourself.
Key elements include inventorying digital assets, naming a digital executor or trusted contact, creating access mechanisms, providing instructions to manage accounts, and updating estate documents. The process typically involves a confidential terms document, secure storage, and periodic reviews.

Yes, digital assets require explicit directions beyond what a will or trust typically covers. A will may not speak directly to online accounts, passwords, or digital rights. A separate digital asset plan ensures clear instructions for access and transfer. A digital asset plan complements traditional estate planning and can be integrated with your existing documents to provide a cohesive strategy.
Typically, you should designate someone you trust who understands technology and is willing to manage digital accounts and permissions. This person should be comfortable handling confidential information and communicating with service providers if needed. We can advise on privacy considerations and help you select a suitable digital executor or trusted contact aligned with your goals.
Include categories such as online accounts (email, social media, cloud storage), financial assets (crypto wallets, digital currencies), digital media (photos, videos), and rights ( licenses, subscriptions). Also include access details, preferred handling instructions, and any restrictions you want to impose on who may access or inherit these assets.
Update your digital asset plan whenever you experience major life events (marriage, divorce, births, deaths, job changes) or when you gain or lose access to important accounts. Regular reviews help keep passwords current and ensure new assets are included.
Costs vary with the complexity of your digital assets and how integrated you want the plan to be with your overall estate plan. We offer clear, transparent pricing and provide value by reducing future administration time and potential disputes.
