This CLE course will guide estate planning counsel and advisers on challenges relating to the planning and administration of unique assets, specifically cryptocurrency and digital information. The panel will provide an analysis of the fiduciary responsibilities, legal obstacles, key plan considerations and effective administration of unusual assets.

Description

Cryptocurrency and similar assets lie in a gray area of the law, and estate planners must consider the ways these assets can successfully be bequeathed.

Other digital assets include personal, business and financial internet and computer files, including but not limited to all types of online accounts and virtually stored documents, music, photos, and other data. These assets raise new challenges for estate planners, who must understand and address these assets in any comprehensive estate and succession plan.

Developing an approach for identifying, transferring and managing these assets after death must be considered and addressed in even the most routine estate planning process. The Model Rules mandate competency, and estate planners must become competent so they can provide solutions to 21st century assets and problems.

Listen as our authoritative panel examines the estate planning issues particular to cryptocurrency and other highly regulated assets and best practices for incorporating such assets into a comprehensive estate and succession plan.
