Digital Assets, in the context of estate planning, refer to the diverse and valuable components of your online presence and digital life. These encompass a wide range of items, from email accounts and social media profiles to cloud-stored files, online subscriptions, browser histories, and cryptocurrencies.
Here are some examples of Digital Assets supported by Eternal Me:
