Understanding Digital Asset Planning

What digital assets are and why planning for them matters.

We outline practical steps to inventory assets, designate a trusted decision maker, and document access instructions.

Definition and explanation of digital asset planning

Digital asset planning identifies online accounts, files, and digital property, names who should manage them, and specifies how access should be granted.

Key elements and processes

Inventory of assets, secure storage of passwords and access details, appointed digital executor or agent, and clear instructions for each platform.

Key terms and glossary for digital asset planning

This glossary explains common terms you may encounter when planning for digital assets.

Digital assets

Digital assets are online accounts, files, cryptocurrencies, and other property that exist in digital form.

Access to digital assets

Access means having the ability to reach and manage those assets as intended, typically through a plan or trusted agent.

Digital estate plan

A digital estate plan outlines how digital assets should be managed after death, consistent with your wishes.

Verification and security

Security measures and authentication methods to protect assets and access.

Comparison of legal options for digital asset planning

Options include a will, a trust, a durable power of attorney, and digital asset documents; each option has its own implications for how assets are accessed and managed.

When a limited approach is sufficient:

Limited power of attorney for digital access

If the goal is to grant specific access for a defined period or situation, a limited approach may be appropriate.

Simple inventory and access plan

For straightforward digital assets, a concise plan may meet your needs.

Why a comprehensive digital asset plan is needed:

To cover all accounts and platforms

A full plan helps ensure no asset is overlooked and reduces confusion for your heirs.

To coordinate with your overall estate plan

We align digital instructions with wills, trusts, and guardianship provisions.

Benefits of a comprehensive approach

A complete plan provides clarity for family, minimizes conflict, and speeds administration.

It also helps protect privacy and prevents unauthorized access.

Seamless handoff of digital assets

Documented access and instructions help loved ones carry out your wishes without guesswork.

Better privacy and control

Clear guidelines ensure you retain control while protecting sensitive information.
