Digital asset planning is the process of cataloging your online possessions, setting access rules, and providing clear instructions to loved ones or fiduciaries so digital property is handled according to your wishes.
Inventory of assets and credentials, legal authorization via powers of attorney or trust instructions, data privacy protections, and a simple action plan that trusted people can follow.
This glossary defines terms to help you understand your digital asset plan and how your plan works with your overall estate plan.
