"Estate Planning for Your Digital Assets - New Article"

This post was written by Dennis Kennedy: "My friend Wendy Werner recently talked me into writing an article on "succession planning" for computer systems, online materials and digital assets for the newly-released issue of the Law Practice Today webzine. Wendy edited the issue and it is an excellent look at succession planning for lawyers and law firms that I highly recommend you take a look at the entire issue.

I'm happy to have contributed an article to the issue. The article is called "Estate Planning for Your Digital Assets."

...I tried to consolidate my suggested approach into 5 basic steps and that section makes up the core of the article:

A Simple Five-Step Plan to Manage Your Digital Estate

Step 1. Inventory Your Digital Assets.

Step 2. Identify Appropriate Help.

Step 3. Provide for Access.

Step 4. Provide Instructions.

Step 5. Give Appropriate Authority."
