Digital Estate Planning

Crownmark Lawyers provides advice on incorporating digital assets and online accounts into broader estate planning. Our approach is practical and forward-looking, focused on ensuring that executors and trusted decision-makers have appropriate authority to manage digital matters when required.

Digital estate planning may involve identifying digital assets, recording access information securely, and providing instructions regarding social media accounts, online subscriptions, cloud storage, cryptocurrency, and other digital holdings. We advise on how these matters interact with wills, powers of attorney, and privacy and access restrictions imposed by service providers.

Where appropriate, digital estate planning is integrated into a wider estate plan to ensure consistency and enforceability. In suitable matters, advice may be provided on an agreed, fixed-fee basis through Crownmark Assured Pricing (CAP), providing clarity around scope and costs.
