Digital estate planning to-dos:
✔ Make a list of your digital assets and passwords so others know where to find them.
✔ Back up data stored in the cloud to a local computer or storage device.
✔ Work with an attorney to provide consent in legal documents (back wheel and front wheel).You may have planned for your loved ones to eventually inherit items like your house, retirement and personal keepsakes, but with life increasingly being lived online, you may be overlooking an increasingly important kind of property— digital assets. If your estate plan doesn’t account for digital assets properly, your heirs may not have access to them. Family photos and videos could be lost forever, social media accounts could stay up long after you’ve passed risking virtual identity theft, and your heirs may not receive all the money that you’d like to see come their way. We’re dealing with a new virtual world.
