Digital assets and how to deal with them

• Make a list of what your digital assets are in a personal asset register and

where they can be located.

• It is enough to leave a list of online accounts and ensure that this list is kept

up to date.

• Make sure the list can be found, so put it with your will or with your private

papers.

• Consider how you wish for your digital assets to be dealt with and leave

instructions in your will.
