Professional questions
Questions for digital-asset estate planning
These short explanations help readers frame a professional conversation. They do not replace legal, tax or investment advice.
Does a will automatically deal with cryptocurrency and other digital assets?
A will can deal with the value or ownership of assets, but a practical digital-estate plan also needs to consider identification, records, lawful access arrangements and the authority of executors or attorneys. The appropriate approach depends on the client’s circumstances and professional advice.
What should executors look for when administering an estate containing digital assets?
Executors may need to identify holdings, relevant exchanges or wallets, supporting records, valuations, tax information and lawful routes to access. They should obtain advice appropriate to the estate rather than attempting to use credentials or devices without authority.
Why are lasting powers of attorney relevant to digital assets?
A property-and-financial-affairs attorney may need clear evidence of what exists, where records are held and what authority is available. Planning should distinguish access information from the legal authority to act.
