Season 4, Episode 12: Digital Estate Planning, Part 1

Olivia speaks with attorney Emily Baggett regarding digital assets and estate planning. Olivia and Emily help you sort through your digital affairs by identifying what digital assets include: monetary accounts, points accounts, creative content, monetized social media accounts, and store accounts. Digital estate planning helps you decide if you want to transfer, distribute, preserve, destruct, or neglect the asset.

And what about your cellphone?
