Understanding Digital Asset Planning

Digital asset planning involves identifying digital assets, securing access, and documenting your wishes in a legally enforceable plan.

We help you determine who should have access, how to handle passwords, and how to appoint a digital executor to carry out your instructions.

Definition and Explanation of Digital Asset Planning

Digital asset planning is the process of cataloging online accounts, digital property, and data, then directing how these items are managed and distributed after you pass away or become incapacitated.

Key Elements and Processes

Inventory of assets, secure storage of access information, appointment of a digital executor, digital estate plan documents, and ongoing review to reflect changes in accounts and laws.
