Quick Tip: Don’t Forget Your Digital Assets

Your online life is part of your legacy — make sure it’s not lost.

Digital Assets are easy to miss, and hard to recover

From email accounts and online banking to cloud photo libraries and cryptocurrency wallets, many people now own a digital estate — even if they’ve never thought of it that way.

But without planning, these assets can be overlooked, inaccessible, or even lost forever.

What Counts as a Digital Asset?

• Email accounts

• Photos and videos in the cloud

• Social media profiles

• Cryptocurrency and online investments

• Personal or business websites

• Digital wallets and loyalty points

• Online banking or utilities

If your executors can’t access or locate these accounts, they may struggle to manage or preserve them.

Three Steps You Can Take Now

1. Make a Digital Asset Inventory List your important online accounts and what they contain. Keep the list secure and updated.

2. Store Login Details Securely Use a password manager or encrypted file. Make sure someone you trust — ideally your executors — can access it when needed.

3. Update Your Will and Letter of Wishes Include a clause in your Will giving your executors authority to deal with digital assets. A Letter of Wishes can give helpful guidance on how to manage them.

Final Thought

Your digital life matters. A few simple actions now can save your loved ones confusion, delay, and lost memories later.
