Digital assets—from online accounts and cryptocurrencies to digital documents and media—require clear planning to protect your wishes and provide for loved ones.
In Mukwonago and across Wisconsin, a thoughtful digital asset plan sits within a broader estate strategy, helping you control access, reduce confusion, and safeguard privacy.
Without a plan, digital assets may become inaccessible or mismanaged during incapacity or after death. A structured plan offers clarity for executors, protects privacy, and ensures assets are used according to your wishes.

Digital asset planning coordinates access to accounts, passwords, and digital content with your overall estate plan to ensure a smooth transfer of responsibilities to your loved ones.
It covers how to appoint a digital executor, designate custodians, and implement safeguards that respect privacy while meeting your goals.
A digital asset is any information stored online or in electronic form that you own or control, including social profiles, cloud drives, email archives, crypto wallets, and digital media. A plan for these assets specifies who can access them and how they should be managed.
Essential elements include asset inventory, access instructions, trusted representatives, security measures, and a documented process for updating the plan as technology and relationships change.
