A New Course in Estate Planning: What is a Digital Executor? 

Presented by: Hulse, Playfair & McGarry + Mann Lawyers LLP

In today’s progressively digitalized world, numerous facets of our lives are orchestrated online. From social media accounts and email addresses to digital photographs and online banking, our digital footprint persists in expanding. 

This transformation underscores the importance of incorporating digital assets in estate planning, guaranteeing a thorough and all-encompassing strategy when organizing your estate. 

Neglecting to consider these digital assets may result in information being misplaced or unreachable for your loved ones, along with potential financial setbacks if specific assets remain undetected. 

If the executor in the contemporary era is a digital executor, the trustee of today becomes a digital trustee, and correspondingly, the advisor in the current landscape must transform into a digital advisor. 

Registration required to receive the Zoom link.
