Frequently Asked Questions

What is digital asset planning?

Digital asset planning helps you specify who can access your online accounts and data after you pass away or become unable to manage them. It also outlines how those assets should be handled and who will oversee them. Having this plan in place can reduce uncertainty for loved ones.

Key participants typically include you, your chosen family members, a trusted advisor, and any co-trustees or executors. Involve your attorney to ensure documents are legally sound and aligned with your goals. Clear roles help the plan work as intended.

Assets that require planning include online accounts, email, cloud storage, cryptocurrencies, digital photos, and memberships. If you have multiple platforms, a centralized plan makes it easier to manage them.

Password management can be done with a password manager and a secure, trusted storage method. Avoid sharing passwords in unsecured messages; instead, designate a trusted person to access them through the plan.

There is typically a modest cost for creating and updating a digital asset plan. The cost reflects the complexity of your assets and the level of protection you want for your loved ones.

No. Digital asset planning is useful for any estate size. It helps simplify access and management of digital property and accounts.

Plan updates are recommended after major life events, such as marriage, divorce, birth, death, relocation, or when you add or remove accounts.

Without a plan, your digital assets may be left inaccessible, complicating access for heirs and potentially extending probate.

Yes. Social media profiles, photo libraries, and other online assets can be included and managed according to your wishes.

The timeline varies with complexity, but a typical digital asset plan can be completed in a few weeks with timely input.
