Frequently Asked Questions

What is digital asset planning?

Digital asset planning is the process of organizing digital accounts and data and specifying how they should be managed or transferred after life events. A plan helps loved ones locate assets, gain access, and carry out wishes during a difficult time.

Include online banking and investment accounts, email and social media profiles, cloud storage, crypto wallets, and any business-related digital property. Gather login details and designate access.

A trusted person should be someone who is responsible, organized, and able to follow instructions. Consider a backup in case the primary designee is unavailable.

While some basics can be set up without legal help, a lawyer ensures your documents meet state requirements and work with other estate planning tools. A formal plan provides clear guidance.

We use careful information handling, secure storage, and selective sharing to protect privacy while enabling necessary access.

Yes. Digital asset planning includes cryptocurrency, wallets, and related holdings, with instructions for access and transfer where appropriate.

Life changes, technology updates, and new accounts warrant periodic reviews. Reassess your plan at least every two to three years or after major events.

Prices vary by complexity, but you can expect a transparent, straightforward process with clear pricing and milestones.

You can begin with a plan on your own, but working with a lawyer helps ensure documents meet legal standards and coordinate with broader estate plans.

A typical planning engagement takes several weeks to complete, depending on asset complexity and how quickly you provide information.
