Understanding Digital Asset Planning

We help you determine what to share, who should have access, and how to keep information up to date as technology and accounts change.

Definition and Explanation

Digital asset planning identifies and protects digital assets such as online accounts, media, cryptocurrencies, and stored files, and sets how they should be managed or transferred in your estate plan.

Key Elements and Processes

Inventory of assets, access instructions, guardians or trusted contacts, and documents linked to wills or trusts along with regular plan reviews.

Key Terms and Glossary

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

Digital Asset

An online or electronic asset with value or significance, including social media profiles, cloud storage, photos, and cryptocurrency holdings.

Digital Access

The ability to reach and manage digital assets as authorized by you, typically via usernames, passwords, and trusted contacts.

Executor or Personal Representative

The person named to manage your estate and ensure your digital assets are handled according to your plan.

Digital Inheritance and Security

Guidelines for passing digital assets to heirs and safeguarding accounts from unauthorized access.

Comparison of Legal Options

Different approaches can help you control digital assets, from basic wills to more comprehensive digital asset plans that include trusts and guardianship provisions.

When a Limited Approach Is Sufficient:

Simple digital asset sets

If you have a small number of straightforward assets, a limited plan may be adequate to protect access and transfer.

Clear instructions and accessible accounts

When assets are easy to categorize and access can be shared with trusted contacts, a streamlined approach can work well.

Why a Comprehensive Digital Asset Plan Is Helpful:

Complex asset portfolios

Regular updates and contingencies

Benefits of a Comprehensive Approach

A full plan helps protect privacy, reduce family stress, and ensure your digital legacy is managed as you intend.

By aligning digital asset planning with your traditional estate plan, you gain coordinated control over all assets.

Streamlined transfers and clear instructions

A robust plan provides straightforward directions, reducing uncertainty for heirs and executors.

Peace of mind and continued access

With clear authority and guardrails, you maintain control over digital assets while protecting your loved ones.
