A digital asset plan coordinates how online accounts, data, and digital belongings are accessed and managed after incapacity or death.

We help you inventory assets, name trusted contacts, and document access details in a secure, confidential process.

Definition and Explanation

Digital asset planning combines traditional estate planning concepts with instructions for digital accounts, data privacy, and succession.

Key Elements and Processes

Inventory, access instructions, trusted guardians, secure storage, and periodic reviews form the core of an effective plan.

Key Terms and Glossary

Glossary of terms commonly used in digital asset planning, including digital assets, access instructions, and guardianship.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is digital asset planning?

Digital asset planning defines how digital items are managed after incapacity or death. It helps prevent confusion and supports a smooth transfer for loved ones.

A digital guardian should be someone you trust and who understands privacy and legal requirements. We can help you select and document their role and responsibilities.

You can start with a plan on your own, but working with an attorney helps ensure compliance with Wisconsin law and proper integration with other documents. A professional can tailor the plan to your unique circumstances.

Update your plan after major life events, changes to accounts, or shifts in service terms. Regular reviews keep the plan accurate and actionable.

Include social media accounts, email, cloud storage, digital wallets, and any accounts that hold sentimental or financial value. Document platform names, usernames, and where to store the access details.

Digital assets can be transferred to heirs when the plan includes proper instructions and access details. Providers’ terms may vary, so we coordinate with you to align plans with applicable rules.

Digital asset planning complements probate by organizing digital items; it is not a substitute for probate. Both processes may work together to carry out your wishes smoothly.

We discuss privacy limits and who can see your information. Only trusted individuals and legal requirements guide what is shared and with whom.

Timeline depends on complexity. Simple plans can be prepared in a few weeks, while more detailed arrangements may take longer.

Costs vary by scope and complexity. We provide upfront estimates after reviewing your needs.
