What happens to my digital assets like cryptocurrency and online accounts when I die?
Digital assets often become inaccessible without proper planning because they're protected by passwords and terms of service agreements. Unlike physical assets, family members can't simply present a death certificate to access your cryptocurrency wallets, social media accounts, or digital photos. Creating a comprehensive inventory of your digital assets and including access instructions in your estate planning documents helps ensure these valuable or sentimental items aren't lost forever. Some platforms have specific procedures for deceased users, while others may permanently lock accounts without proper documentation.
