What the course author says:
“It is now impossible to be able to properly advise on estate planning or estate administration without understanding the various issues thrown up by digital assets. This course enables practitioners to identify these issues and provides actionable guidance on how to deal with them in practice. It covers cryptoassets (for example, how to make a succession plan, how to put them in trust, and how to administer them as part of an estate) as well as other kinds of digital assets including digital files, cloud accounts and domain names. It will be of huge benefit to anyone who provides estate planning advice or handles the administration of estates.”
