Kimberly Clouse, Covestor’s Chief Client Advocate and Advisory Board Chair joins Covestor Radio (Episode 27) to discuss planning for digital assets.
Covestor Radio is a show about money milestones and investing for your future and brought to you by Covestor, an online marketplace for investing.
Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Kimberly Clouse discuss the following:
- What is an estate plan and what is estate administration?
- What are digital assets?
- What are some of the issues in planning for digital assets?
- How are companies dealing with digital legacy issues?
- And what about Facebook?
TIP: Gerry W. Beyer, a law professor at the Texas Tech University School of Law wrote a thought-provoking passage about the sentimental value of digital assets in his article entitled Estate Planning in the Digital Age. Professor Beyer wrote: “historically, people kept special pictures, letters, and journals in shoeboxes or albums for future heirs. Today, this material is stored on computers or online and is often never printed. Personal blogs and Twitter feeds have replaced physical diaries and e-mails have replaced letters. Without alerting family members that these assets exist, and without telling them how to get access to them, the story of the life of the deceased may be lost forever.[ii]”
