What happens to my digital assets after death?

Digital assets such as online bill pay accounts, online investment management accounts, personal records, digital movies, books, games, airline rewards points, and photos must be accounted for in modern estate planning to ensure your loved ones can access and control your digital accounts as you wish.  As technology plays a growing role in our everyday lives, some of our assets carry personal value, such as photos and videos, and others, such as online blogs with paid advertisements, may even have monetary value.  In order to ensure that personal accounts, sites, and memories are available to the desired loved ones after death, who you want to be given access to your digital accounts and what type of control they may have over them must be included in your estate planning documents.

At Bach & Jacobs, P.A., we incorporate planning for the transfer of digital assets into our estate and end of life planning for clients.  Call our office today at (941) 906-1231 to set up an appointment to review how to make your digital assets a part of your estate plan and ensure access to these accounts is granted safely and as you desire.
