In an increasingly digital world, many of our personal and financial effects are stored online. From online bank and brokerage accounts to social network accounts and photo sharing sites – most of us have some type of digital asset. So what happens to that precious information when you’re gone? Digital assets have become an important component in estate planning. Tune in to our Google Hangout on October 23rd at 3PM ET to hear our panel discuss how you can prepare and incorporate your digital assets into your estate plan.
