Event Focus

Aside from financial value, there are many digital assets with great emotional significance to individuals and their family. With a focus on social media and email, this webinar will explore the issues raised in digital asset planning for death and incapacity, with the aid of real life and hypothetical examples. The law will be examined from an English perspective, but much will be relevant in any jurisdiction.

The panel will cover:

• problems with social media accounts and their impact on a bereaved family;
• options available for individuals who want to plan what happens to their social media and email accounts after their death or incapacity;
• options available for the legal representatives of a deceased or incapacitated person to access and control that person’s use of social media, email and the web;
• a look from a medical perspective at how capacity in such matters is assessed.
