Understanding Digital Asset Planning

Digital asset planning covers organizing online accounts, digital files, and access so they align with your overall estate plan.

We tailor steps to your assets, from social media and cloud storage to cryptocurrency and business data.

Definition and Explanation

Digital asset planning identifies and coordinates your online property and access rights within your estate plan to protect loved ones and privacy.

Key Elements and Processes

Key steps include inventorying digital assets, naming a digital executor, updating designations, and providing secure access instructions for trusted individuals.

This glossary defines common terms used in digital asset planning and the documents you may encounter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need digital asset planning if I already have a will?

Even if you have a will, digital asset planning ensures online items are managed according to your preferences and reduces uncertainty for loved ones. It clarifies who has authority and how access is granted. We help you integrate digital asset provisions into your overall plan so possessions, accounts, and data are handled consistently.

Include a current inventory of online accounts, email, social media, cloud storage, crypto wallets, digital photos, licenses, and important documents. Note usernames, passwords, recovery codes, and where they are stored, plus who should have access and how to contact them.

A digital executor should be someone trusted to follow your instructions and manage online assets. They should understand your privacy preferences and be comfortable handling sensitive information and coordinating with service providers.

Regular updates are important as services change, passwords expire, and new assets appear. We recommend reviewing your plan at least once a year or after major life events.

Digital asset planning complements probate by providing clear instructions for digital items, which can simplify administration and protect privacy for your beneficiaries.

Password privacy is essential. Use secure storage methods and share access only with trusted individuals as part of a controlled plan.

Online storage raises considerations about privacy and access. We help outline who can access accounts, how, and under what circumstances.

A Wisconsin digital executor is appointed through your estate documents or a separate digital asset plan. We guide you through the appropriate process and ensure a valid designation.

Costs vary with the scope of planning. We provide clear pricing for inventory, documentation, and ongoing support to fit your needs.
