Frequently Asked Questions

What is digital asset planning?

Digital asset planning is the process of identifying and listing digital assets, deciding who can access them, and specifying how they should be managed after death or incapacity. It complements traditional estate planning by addressing online profiles, digital wallets, and data privacy.

Examples include email accounts, social media, cloud storage, online subscriptions, and crypto wallets. Include login details, recovery methods, and any platform-specific instructions in a secure plan.

Your digital executor is the person you trust to manage online accounts according to your instructions. Choose someone who understands technology and your privacy expectations, and name alternates if possible.

Use a secure password manager and organized documentation to share access with trusted individuals. Avoid storing passwords in unsecured notes and ensure access follows your plan.

A well-designed plan protects privacy by limiting who can access sensitive data. It also provides a clear framework so your information is handled respectfully and securely.

While you can draft basic plans on your own, working with a lawyer helps ensure coverage and compliance. A lawyer can tailor documents to Wisconsin law and coordinate with your broader estate plan.

Review your plan after major life events and at least yearly. Technology changes and account changes mean regular updates are wise.

Yes, digital asset planning can address cryptocurrency wallets and transactions. We can help you structure access and security considerations for crypto assets.

If you reside outside Wisconsin, your plan can still address online assets, but local laws may vary. Consult a Wisconsin attorney to ensure your plan remains valid if you spend time in the state or have assets there.

Costs vary by complexity, but a comprehensive plan is an investment in avoiding future disputes. We offer transparent pricing and can tailor a plan that fits your needs.
