Protecting Your Digital Assets After Death

Most of us are aware of the financial arrangements involved in planning for our loved ones after we’re gone. From writing a will to securing a life insurance policy, we know the steps we need to take, although many people put off this important financial preparation. In fact, a recent survey showed that 68 percent of Americans don’t have any will or other estate planning documents in place.¹

Estate planning is an uncomfortable and difficult experience for many of us. As well as dealing with the emotional side of this kind of financial planning, we must also tackle a tangle of legal requirements over assets, bank accounts and other finances and, we now face the added complication of digital assets.
