We know that a comprehensive estate plan will ensure that your
assets get distributed according to your wishes. What assets,
exactly, does this plan include? When we create an estate plan, we
ask our clients to take an inventory of not only their real
property, corporate interests, and cash in the bank, but also their
digital assets. You should include your digital assets in your
estate plan to maximize your estate's value and to assure
yourself that your data will end up in the right hands.
Digital Assets by the Numbers
Digital assets include emails, social media accounts, blogs,
digital photos, electronic folders, funds held in accounts such as
iTunes and PayPal, online subscriptions, Air Miles or other rewards
points, and cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin or other altcoins.
