Understanding Digital Asset Planning

Digital asset planning identifies what digital items exist, who can access them, and how they should be managed when you are unable to act.

Our process helps you inventory assets, document access instructions, and align digital plans with your broader estate documents.

Definition and explanation

Digital asset planning is the approach to identifying, securing, and directing how online assets are managed according to your wishes.

Key elements and processes

Key steps include inventorying assets, naming trusted contacts, creating access instructions, and securely storing documents so they can be followed.

Key terms and glossary

A brief glossary of common terms used in digital asset planning.

Digital asset

An online item or account with value, such as a cryptocurrency wallet, digital photo collection, document, or stored file.

Account access

Authorized ability to view, manage, or transfer a digital asset as part of your plan.

Password management

Secure storage and controlled sharing of passwords and login details used to access digital assets.

Digital executor

The person named to carry out your digital asset plan in accordance with your instructions.

Comparing legal options for digital asset planning

Options include direct transfer, trusts with digital asset provisions, or designating a digital fiduciary to oversee assets.

When a limited approach can meet your needs:

When wishes are simple and trusted contacts can act with minimal documents.

Why a comprehensive approach is needed:

Protects multiple accounts

A full plan helps prevent gaps across platforms and services.

Integrates with the overall estate plan

Ensures consistency with wills, trusts, and powers of attorney.

Benefits of a comprehensive approach

Improved organization and smoother administration for heirs.

Greater privacy and reduced risk of disputes.

Privacy and security

Structured plans protect sensitive information and simplify administration for everyone involved.
