Digital asset planning is a process to identify, organize, and provide instructions for digital accounts and assets. It helps your family access information and manage affairs according to your wishes. By establishing clear guidance, you minimize confusion and ensure your digital legacy is handled as you intend.
Both wills and trusts can address digital assets, but a trust may provide ongoing control and flexibility for asset management. We assess your situation to determine the best approach and how digital assets integrate with your overall plan. The plan can be updated as assets and platforms change.
The digital executor should be a trusted, capable person who understands your wishes and can handle sensitive information. We help you document their authority and any limits, ensuring clear instructions for accessing accounts and data.
We recommend secure storage for passwords and login details, with access granted only to trusted individuals. Avoid storing passwords in insecure locations and consider a digital safe or password manager designed for restricted access. Regular reviews help keep information current.
