Throughout most of history, when making a will, one didn’t have to consider digital assets. Traditionally, wills dealt with money, houses, cars, books, and other physical items. Perhaps it comes as no surprise that digital assets are sometimes overlooked, but just like tangible assets, you can decide what happens to them.

There are, though, steps you can take to make disputes more unlikely. Here are some tips to help plan for your digital and tangible assets, and future-proof your will.
