Written by In today’s digital age, an individual’s estate often includes assets like online accounts, social media profiles, digital photos, and documents. An estate probate attorney is crucial in managing these properties during probate, ensuring they are correctly identified, accessed, and handled according to the deceased’s wishes.
Probate attorneys start by reviewing estate documents to identify digital assets and gathering additional information from beneficiaries. Accessing these properties may require court authorization or contacting service providers, with an understanding of platform terms and restrictions being essential.
Once accessed, attorneys focus on preserving data, identifying beneficiaries, and closing unnecessary accounts to prevent unauthorized access. They handle social media accounts, address copyright and intellectual property issues, and protect the deceased’s digital legacy.
Managing such assets involves challenges like password protection, privacy settings, and data retention policies. Legal and technical solutions are often necessary to navigate these issues, ensuring the deceased’s digital assets are appropriately managed and their wishes fulfilled.
