Frequently Asked Questions

What is digital asset planning?

Digital asset planning is a practical approach to organizing your online assets and data. It helps ensure that access, privacy, and control are preserved for the people you choose. By outlining who can manage accounts and how assets should be handled, you reduce friction for loved ones during a difficult time.

Involve trusted family members, a former attorney or advisor, and your designated executor. It’s helpful to discuss goals and permissions with all parties so responsibilities are clear. We can help you determine who should have access and how information should be shared.

If you forget a password or lose access, your plan should specify alternate methods to verify identity and recover accounts. We recommend updating contact information and using secure storage solutions to minimize these risks.

A digital asset plan complements your will or trust by adding specific instructions for online accounts and data. It does not replace traditional documents but works alongside them to provide a complete plan.

We use secure systems and follow best practices to protect your information. Your data is kept confidential and access is limited to authorized individuals as you designate.

Yes. Plans should be reviewed and updated after major life events, such as marriage, divorce, the birth of a child, or when you gain new digital assets.

Include all online accounts, digital currencies, cloud storage, social media, and any data you consider valuable or sensitive. Don’t forget devices and platforms that may have data tied to your identity.

We typically request a list of accounts, passwords or access methods, and any legal documents you want integrated. We guide you through a simple, secure intake process.

The timeline depends on the complexity of your asset list and how quickly you provide information. We work efficiently to gather details and draft the plan within a reasonable timeframe.

Costs vary with complexity and scope. We provide a transparent estimate after an initial consult and tailor the plan to your needs.
