Digital Assets and Modern Estate Planning: How Florida Law Is Catching Up

To be honest, Florida’s estate-planning laws are still catching up to the 21st century. In an age where your life exists online — in emails, bank apps, and cryptocurrency wallets — your legacy must extend beyond paper and property.
The Challenge
When a person passes away without digital planning, their families face locked accounts, vanished data, and years of frustration. Florida has addressed this through the Revised Uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act (RUFADAA), allowing executors to manage certain digital accounts — but only if proper consent was granted in advance.
What to Do Now
Include digital instructions in your will or trust. Designate trusted individuals to handle your online estate. And review each platform’s legacy settings — from Google to Coinbase — to ensure your data does not disappear or fall into the wrong hands.
Why It Matters
Estate planning isn’t just about who inherits; it’s about how they live after you. Protecting digital assets preserves your privacy, your values, and your voice long after you’re gone.
Our Commitment
