Digital Assets and Online Accounts in Wills

Law Tram’s Wills and Powers of Attorney Consultation simplifies the process by connecting you with licensed Australian lawyers who can offer tailored legal advice specific to your situation. This free, fully online, and obligation-free service ensures you receive expert guidance every step of the way.

Your Digital Life Is Part of Your Legacy

Most Australians now have valuable digital assets, such as online bank accounts, cryptocurrency, social media profiles, cloud storage, and digital photos. These are often overlooked in wills, which can make it difficult for loved ones to access or manage them after death.

A lawyer can help you identify your digital assets and include them in your estate plan. They can also ensure that access instructions comply with privacy laws and that passwords, accounts, and data are handled securely and lawfully.

Law Tram connects you with experienced lawyers who understand how to protect your digital footprint and ensure your online assets are passed on safely.
