Estate Planning for Digital Assets: Managing Your Online Legacy
In today’s digital age, estate planning is no longer just about physical assets; it also encompasses digital assets such as social media accounts, cryptocurrency, and online accounts. As more of our lives move into the digital realm, it’s essential to include these assets in your estate plan to ensure they are properly managed and distributed according to your wishes.
In Florida, the Revised Uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act (RUFADAA) governs the management and access to digital assets after death or incapacity. This statute allows individuals to designate a fiduciary to manage their digital assets, ensuring that important information is accessible to the appropriate parties.
As Steve Jobs once said, “Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work.” This quote highlights the importance of ensuring that your digital legacy is protected and managed effectively, just like your physical assets.
The key takeaway from this blog is the importance of proactively managing your digital assets as part of your overall estate plan. By identifying and documenting your digital accounts and assets, you can ensure that they are properly accounted for and managed according to your wishes.
