Afterlife on the Cloud: Creating a Heavenly Plan for Digital Assets sponsored by Wellspring Financial Advisors
About the program…
In today’s digital world communication, banking, investing, and bill-paying can all be done in part or entirely through electronic means. We are advised to closely guard the keys to our digital lives for fear of identity theft, but what happens on death or disability when no one knows how to unlock important digital information? Would you want someone to be able to access that information anyway? This presentation will explain how to identify a client’s key digital assets; explore the evolution of contact, cyber-security, and probate law to address these issues; describe how tech companies are coming up with their own private solutions to these issues; review existing and proposed legislation including the Revised Uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act and the Privacy Expectations Afterlife and Choices Act; and provide insight as to how to plan for these assets.
