Our licensed attorneys advise high-net-worth individuals in wills, trusts, and estate plans for effective and efficient management and distribution of bitcoin, tokens, coins, crypto, and NFTs.
The digital economy has brought a paradigm shift to the world of wealth management, reflected in the adoption of digital assets like Bitcoin and Ethereu,, and Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs). As they increasingly become an essential part of people's investment portfolios, attorneys must assist clients in incorporating digital assets into estate planning to ensure optimal management and distribution. Digital assets exist independently of centralized financial systems, held in digital wallets, and their value can fluctuate significantly, creating a challenge in estate planning. Unlike traditional assets, cryptocurrencies are not tied to physical property or a centralized authority. This can make them difficult to locate, appraise, and distribute if not properly managed.
The legal frameworks around digital assets are still developing, which can make estate planning for these assets a complex endeavor. A significant legal milestone in this area is the Revised Uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act (RUFADAA). RUFADAA offers a legal framework that provides authority for fiduciaries, such as trustees and executors, to manage digital assets, including cryptocurrencies. This Act has been increasingly adopted across the United States, underscoring the critical importance of including digital assets in any comprehensive estate plan.
Digital assets can't be ignored in estate planning due to the potential for growth in the space, and the significant wealth they can represent. For instance, the emergence of NFTs has introduced an entirely new form of digital asset. NFTs are unique tokens that can represent ownership of specific digital assets, such as digital art, music, or virtual real estate. Like cryptocurrencies, NFTs have their complexities and legal considerations in estate planning which can be effectively managed through a mix of trusted professionals and smart contracts, without giving up self-custodial control.
Our firm has a wealth of experience navigating the complexities of estate planning for digital assets and we partner with the best dApp providers on the planet to make it easy for our customers. We've assisted numerous digital asset investors in creating robust plans to ensure the appropriate handling and distribution of their cryptocurrencies and NFTs.

Investing in digital assets is no longer a niche interest—it's a global phenomenon that's changing the way we think about wealth management. As we continue to move forward in the digital age, comprehensive estate planning that includes digital assets will be more important than ever.
