Frequently Asked Questions

What is digital asset planning?

Digital asset planning helps ensure that online accounts and digital property are managed according to your wishes. It also helps reduce confusion for family members during a difficult time. By organizing access and instructions now, you can prevent delays and disputes later.

Executors should be individuals you trust to carry out your wishes. They should understand where to locate digital asset documents and how to access necessary accounts. If you have multiple assets, you may designate co-executors or an alternate executor to share responsibility.

Life events and changes in technology warrant updates. Review your digital asset plan at least once a year and after major occurrences like marriage, divorce, births, or when you gain or lose significant online assets.

Yes. A digital asset plan can complement your will and estate plan. Our approach ensures consistency across documents and helps executors understand your digital wishes alongside your other instructions.

We emphasize privacy and security by recommending encrypted storage for sensitive information and limiting who can access it. Regular updates also help keep data secure against evolving threats.

While not legally required, consulting a lawyer ensures your plan complies with state law and coordinates with other instruments in your estate plan. We provide clear, actionable guidance tailored to Wisconsin requirements.

Access after death is typically granted to named executors or trusted contacts. We outline who may access which assets and how to verify authorization to prevent unauthorized use.

If passwords are forgotten, you should have a secure recovery plan and a designated contact who can assist with access restoration. Regularly updating saved credentials helps prevent this issue.

Digital assets can be subject to probate depending on how they’re titled and the applicable laws. A proper plan clarifies ownership, access, and transfer of digital property.

To begin, contact Grah Law LLC for a no-pressure consultation. We’ll outline options, discuss your goals, and start assembling the documents you need.
