21 AUG 2026 · In this episode of Digital Estate Planning Basics, we tackle the overlooked reality that digital assets like accounts, photo libraries, and financial records follow standard inheritance rules yet often remain unaddressed in wills. Executors and caregivers frequently face confusion and delays without a plan. Blake outlines three immediate actions you can take this week: build a simple inventory of key accounts without storing passwords together, activate emergency access in your password manager, and designate legacy contacts on major platforms. We also cover legal steps under the revised uniform fiduciary access to digital assets act, attorney clauses for executors, and secure sharing options that protect privacy during your lifetime while easing future access.
Key takeaways:
- Create and update an annual inventory starting with email, social media, banking, and cloud storage
- Enable emergency contact features in password managers with a 30-day access window
- Add platform legacy contacts and grant view-only rights for critical logins
- Consult an attorney to include digital asset permissions in your will

11 JUL 2026 · In this episode of Digital Estate Planning Basics, we focus on actionable executor and caregiver checklists that address real-world access issues for digital assets. Discover how an inventory of accounts and devices, RUFADAA authorization, password-manager emergency access, and platform legacy contacts on Google and Facebook can prevent locked accounts and repeated delays after someone passes. These tools match what companies actually require, turning scattered notes into a workable plan that reduces surprises and legal hurdles.
Key takeaways:
- Create a complete inventory noting account names, emails, and recovery options to prove authority.
- Incorporate RUFADAA language via an attorney for state-compliant fiduciary access without extra court steps.
- Enable emergency access in a password manager with a trusted contact and test the waiting-period process.
- Designate legacy contacts on supported platforms to allow direct content management or downloads.
