we strongly urge that you speak to
a qualified attorney to ensure your
loved ones act within the law.
Financial Data
Your financial data is perhaps one
of the most crucial, and monetarily
valuable, of your digital assets. The
greatest gift you can give your loved
ones is a list of all of your pertinent
information including, but not limited
to, your username, password, account
number, the service provider you use
to check on your investment or banking account, etc.
Whoever you put in charge of your assets when you die must be aware of the
laws that govern their ability to access
this information and the legal documentation required to access this information.
It is important to outline what
you want to happen to your digital assets and have all of your
affairs in order. In addition to
having an estate plan for your
traditional assets, you now must
also have an estate plan for your
digital assets. The bottom line is
to be RESPONSIBLE.
Being prepared will save your
loved ones time, money and stress!
For a more comprehensive and complete discussion on digital estate plans,
we encourage you to speak with a
qualified estate planning attorney.
