Join us in April for our lunch-time webinar on estate planning with a focus on digital assets. The webinar will ensure attendees are proficient in advising clients on planning for important assets such as cryptocurrency, NFTs and social media accounts.

With digital assets becoming commonplace and increasing numbers of clients wishing to take advantage of the world of digital media in bolstering the value of their estate, this webinar will provide an invaluable opportunity to ensure your knowledge is up-to-date and relevant. Our expert speaker will guide you through the main issues that digital assets give rise to in relation to estate planning and provide practical tips for ensuring that these are optimally addressed in any estate planning strategy.

This webinar will be helpful to all legal professionals dealing with wills, trusts and succession planning, along with tax planning and asset protection. You will have the opportunity to engage with our speaker, ask questions and discuss ideas.

Learning outcomes:

  • Understand the various types of common digital asset and the main concerns that each give rise to while estate planning
  • Gain an overview of the legal framework relating to digital assets in Scotland and the jurisdictional issues that these evoke
  • Explore best practice for addressing digital assets in wills, trusts and powers of attorney, including security and privacy concerns
