The Digital Inheritance Gap: What Happens to Your Life’s Work When You’re Gone?
The way we live, work, and store value has transformed but inheritance has barely moved. When a loved one dies, too often digital assets slip through the cracks: online accounts stay locked, pensions and policies go unnoticed, photos and memories vanish, and even major wealth can be lost forever. This seminar shines a light on the growing “digital inheritance gap” and its profound human and financial consequences. Through real-world stories and expert insight, we’ll explore:
• Why traditional wills and estate planning fail to capture digital lives.
• The obstacles executors and families face in accessing online accounts, businesses, and assets like crypto.
• The emotional and relational fallout of lost legacies on grieving families.
• Practical steps advisors, firms, and individuals can take to prepare for a future where digital assets define every estate.
Attendees will leave with a fresh perspective on inheritance one that is secure, responsible, and deeply human. The goal is not only to protect wealth, but also to preserve the stories, memories, and identities that shape legacy in the digital age.
