Don’t Forget Your Digital Assets in Your Estate Plan

We live in a digital world where so much of what we value is online—social media accounts, online banking, cryptocurrency, photos stored in the cloud, and even subscription services. These digital assets can hold real financial and sentimental value, yet they’re often left out of estate plans. Without a clear plan, your loved ones could face unnecessary stress and legal obstacles trying to access these accounts after you’re gone.

Including digital assets in your estate plan isn’t complicated, but it does take some thought. Start by making a list of your online accounts, passwords, and any important instructions. Then, choose someone you trust to manage or distribute these assets according to your wishes. This way, you can make sure your digital life is handled just like any other part of your estate.

Taking steps now to organize and protect your digital assets means one less worry for your family in the future.
