In today’s digital world, safeguarding your online assets—from social media and email to crypto wallets and cloud storage—requires thoughtful planning as part of a comprehensive Wisconsin estate strategy.
Grah Law LLC helps families in Racine County and beyond create practical, legally sound plans to manage digital assets during life and after death.
A clear plan ensures access for loved ones, protects privacy, reduces probate risk, and prevents important digital assets from being lost or mismanaged.
Grah Law LLC focuses on Estate Planning and Probate in Wisconsin, guiding families through digital asset planning with clear, compassionate guidance and practical solutions.
Digital asset planning identifies your digital assets, determines who should have access, and outlines how those assets should be managed and distributed.
We help you design passwords and access protocols, designate trusted representatives, and ensure your plan aligns with your overall estate plan and privacy laws.
Digital asset planning is a proactive process to inventory your online accounts, data, and rights, then document who may access, manage, and transfer them according to your wishes.
Key elements include asset inventory, access protocols, powers of attorney, beneficiary designations, and regular plan updates to reflect changes in technology and law.
Glossary of common terms used in digital asset planning to help you understand the process and communicate your wishes clearly.
An electronic record or item you own, such as online accounts, email, photos, documents, cryptocurrency, or other data stored digitally.
The ability to view, manage, or transfer a digital asset, granted under your plan or by a legal arrangement.
A document or clause authorizing someone you trust to handle your digital assets if you are unable to do so.
Instructions for how digital assets should be handled after death or incapacity, including passwords, access conditions, and platform-specific steps.
Options commonly used include wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and digital asset directives; each has strengths and limitations depending on your situation.
For a small number of straightforward assets, a simple directive may be enough to designate access and distribution.
If most digital assets are easy to access and manage, a concise plan can avoid overcomplication.
A comprehensive plan addresses multiple accounts, platforms, and privacy considerations to prevent gaps.
A full digital asset plan integrates with wills, trusts, and powers of attorney for consistency and clarity.
A complete plan reduces confusion, speeds access, and helps protect privacy while ensuring assets are distributed per your wishes.
It also minimizes disputes and provides a clear roadmap for heirs and executors.
Documented steps, trusted contacts, and credentials help loved ones find and manage assets quickly and correctly.
A well-planned approach safeguards privacy while meeting applicable state and federal requirements.
Create a complete list of accounts, files, and platforms, including login details stored securely.
Review and update your plan at least once a year or after major life changes.

A will does not typically address online accounts, passwords, or how access should be managed. A digital asset plan complements your will by naming capable agents and providing a clear pathway for access and transfer. It helps ensure your wishes are carried out smoothly and reduces the burden on loved ones during a difficult time.
Include online accounts, email, cloud storage, social media, digital photos, cryptocurrency, and any business-related assets. Also list platforms’ terms of service and recovery options, so your plans weigh appropriately with each provider.
Choose someone you trust to act as your digital asset agent or co-agents who can access accounts and implement your plan. Name alternates and specify scope to prevent delays if the primary agent is unavailable.
Review your plan at least annually or after major life events such as marriage, birth, divorce, or a change in platforms or passwords. Regular updates keep your directives current and actionable.
Wisconsin law recognizes the importance of digital asset planning but does not require it for validity. A robust plan complements traditional documents and can prevent delays or confusion for your heirs.
If you forget a password, your designated agents and your backup plan should provide safe, legally compliant access. Consider password managers and written guidance stored securely with trusted individuals.
After death, your plan guides who can access accounts and how assets are distributed. Instructions may include designated beneficiaries, executors, or trustees and platform-specific steps.
Digital asset planning respects privacy while ensuring lawful access. Limit exposure by specifying who may view sensitive information and using secure storage for passwords and credentials.
Documents typically include a digital asset directive, powers of attorney, a will or trust, and an asset inventory with access instructions. You may also need platform-specific forms or notices.
