What is Digital Asset Planning?

Digital asset planning is the process of identifying online assets—such as email accounts, social media, digital wallets, and cloud storage—and establishing who should access them and how, through legally valid documents.

Key Elements and Processes

Key steps include inventory of digital assets, appointing a digital executor, creating access guidelines, and coordinating with your estate plan.

Key Terms and Glossary

This glossary explains common terms used in digital asset planning, estate planning, and privacy.

Digital Asset

Any account, file, or item with value that exists in digital form, such as online documents, photos, cryptocurrency, and cloud storage.

Digital Executor

A person appointed to manage digital assets consistent with your instructions after your death.

Access and Passwords

Authorized credentials that allow someone to reach online accounts, kept securely and shared only as directed.

Privacy and Security Settings

Policies you set to protect personal information and control how others access accounts.

Comparing Legal Options

Common paths include wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and digital asset planning documents. We help you assess which approach fits your goals.

A full plan ensures both digital and traditional assets are coordinated across your estate, reducing confusion.

Regular reviews keep your plan aligned with changes in services and laws.
