Digital Estate Protection

What is Digital Estate Protection?

Digital Estate Protection protects the digital assets of your estate if you pass away or become incapacitated by allowing you to direct what should happen to each of your digital assets and who should manage them. Your plans remain private and confidential.

If something happens to you, your directions for your Digital Estate are securely delivered to one or more of your loved ones, friends or fiduciaries per your instructions. In doing so, you can be assured that your Digital Estate will be protected and managed according to your wishes.

What is Digital Estate Planning?

Digital Estate planning allows you to protect your phone, computer, online accounts, crypto assets, photos, and other properties stored digitally in case you die or become incapacitated. The law makes it possible for you to design and control your Digital Estate plan, and to give consent to a Digital Executor(s) to access your Digital Assets and follow your wishes should you die or become incapacitated.

Does my Digital Estate Plan Remain Private?

Yes. Your Digital Estate Plan remains secure and accessible only by you. No need to share passwords or other credentials with your loved ones in advance.

What happens if I don’t have a Digital Estate Plan?

With no plan, your loved ones will most likely struggle to ensure continuity or discontinuation of online accounts and distribution/transfer of other Digital Assets. A prolonged settlement of your estate can persist.

• Online bill pay services become subject to interruption (utilities, mortgage).
• Crypto assets such as bitcoin may never be accessible by your loved ones
• Delayed access to critical banking information
• Discretionary online subscription costs pile up
• Valuable photos may be permanently lost
• Months or years can go by without resolution.

Is a Digital Estate Plan the same as a Will?

No. A digital estate plan is a legal extension of your Will typically solidified with a Codicil (Amendment to your will) or incorporated directly by reference.

What is a Digital Executor?
