We help you decide who should manage digital assets, how to share or protect passwords, and how to communicate your wishes to executors and guardians while keeping sensitive information secure.

Definition and Explanation

Digital asset planning is the process of identifying online property, setting access directions, and documenting instructions so your digital life supports your overall legacy and care for loved ones.

Key Elements and Processes

Key elements include a digital asset inventory, named digital fiduciaries, access credentials, instructions for sensitive data, and coordination with your estate plan. The process typically involves gathering information, organizing accounts, drafting provisions, and reviewing with your attorney to ensure accuracy and privacy.

Glossary of Key Terms

Familiarize yourself with terms used throughout digital asset planning to help you communicate your wishes clearly and implement them effectively.

Digital Assets

Digital assets are online items with value or significance, such as email accounts, social media profiles, cloud storage, cryptocurrency, digital photos, and other online property.

Digital Fiduciary

A digital fiduciary is a person you authorize to manage your digital assets under your instructions in accordance with applicable laws and your privacy preferences.

Access Credentials

Usernames, passwords, security codes, and two factor methods needed to access online accounts.

Digital Executor

The person designated to oversee your digital estate and ensure your digital plans are carried out after your death or incapacity.

Comparison of Legal Options

We compare practical options for handling digital assets, from simple written instructions to formal provisions in your estate plan, to fit your goals and privacy concerns.

When a Limited Approach is Sufficient:

Simplicity of assets

If your digital asset portfolio is small and secure, a concise plan may cover basic access needs without unnecessary complexity.

Straightforward access control

For assets with clear owners and direct handoff paths, a streamlined approach can be effective and quicker to implement.

Why a Comprehensive Digital Asset Plan is Needed:

Broader asset coverage

A comprehensive plan addresses digital assets across platforms, integrates with your overall estate plan, and reduces the risk of overlooked accounts.

Ongoing updates

Regular reviews help accommodate changes in technology, accounts, and personal circumstances.

Benefits of a Comprehensive Approach

A complete plan minimizes confusion for family and executors by providing clear instructions and a central reference point.

It also aligns digital asset handling with your broader estate strategy, improving continuity during transitions.

Clear roles and access

A well defined list of trusted contacts, permissions, and procedures reduces delays in accessing accounts.

Privacy and compliance

We tailor the plan to protect privacy while satisfying legal requirements and data protection guidelines.
