Estate Planning for Digital Assets

On this episode, join Partners Michael Clear and Vanessa Maczko as they discuss estate planning considerations for digital assets, which often require special attention when compared to more traditional assets, like real property and marketable securities. For example, sentimental digital assets (such as social media accounts, email, photos on your computer or cell phone), may require specific language in your estate plan for your fiduciaries to access and protect them after your death. Cryptocurrency and other valuable digital assets (such as NFTs) require even more forethought to transfer to your beneficiaries. With that in mind, Michael and Vanessa offer insightful commentary on creative estate planning techniques for properly incorporating digital assets in an estate plan.Our article, "Understanding Digital Assets in the Context of Estate Planning" has additional reading on this topic.
