If you want to ensure your digital legacy is managed according to your wishes, start with a clear plan and secure access instructions for loved ones.

Why Digital Asset Planning Matters

Digital asset planning helps families access important accounts, protect privacy, and avoid delays in settling estates when someone passes away or becomes unable to manage affairs.

Overview of Our Firm and Attorneys' Experience

Grah Law LLC serves Wisconsin families with estate planning and probate needs, including digital asset planning, by focusing on clear guidance, practical steps, and responsive service.

Understanding Digital Asset Planning

Digital asset planning covers inventorying accounts, naming who can access them, and specifying how assets should be handled at death or incapacity.

We help you create practical steps, coordinate with your overall estate plan, and securely store access information for trusted parties.

Definition and Explanation

Digital assets include online accounts, emails, photos, documents, crypto assets, and other electronically stored items that matter to you and your family.

Key Elements and Processes

Key elements include inventorying digital assets, designating a digital executor or trusted contact, gathering and securing access credentials, and providing clear instructions for heirs.

Key Terms and Glossary

This glossary explains terms used in digital asset planning to help you understand your options.

Digital Assets

Electronic items you own or control, such as online accounts, emails, photos, documents, digital currencies, and software licenses.

Access Credentials

Digital Executor

The person you designate to manage your digital assets after death or incapacity.

Digital Estate Plan

A formal plan detailing how digital assets should be handled, distributed, and preserved.

Comparison of Legal Options

For straightforward situations, a compact set of documents can cover basic needs and reduce cost.

Coordinate with broader estate planning

It also strengthens privacy, security, and compliance with Wisconsin law.
