What happens to your digital life when you die? From email accounts and treasured family photos to online banking and cryptocurrency, our lives are increasingly digital. But are these assets included in your estate plan? In this episode of Aging Starts Now, Johnson McGinnis Outreach Coordinator Dana Hentschel welcomes Attorney Kyle Shannon of Crow Estate Planning and Probate to explore an often-overlooked aspect of estate planning: protecting your digital assets. Kyle breaks down what qualifies as a digital asset, explains Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in easy-to-understand terms, and shares a cautionary story about a family unable to access a loved one's cryptocurrency after an unexpected death. You'll also learn why passwords alone aren't enough, how powers of attorney and trusts factor into digital estate planning, and why choosing the right person to manage your digital assets matters. Don't let your digital legacy disappear simply because no one knows how to access it. Tune in for an informative conversation about protecting what you've worked for and making things easier for those you leave behind.
