What is a Digital Assets Addendum to Will?

When things change, your Last Will and Testament should too. With a Digital Assets Addendum to a Will, you can amend your existing Will so that it covers your digital assets. For example, remember those family photos stored on your computer? You can use this document to make sure that those treasured memories, and many other types of digital assets, are passed on to the right people when the time comes. 
 
Kudos to you for having a Will. But as technology evolves, your Will needs to keep up. That means you might need a Digital Assets Addendum to Will. Think about all of your online accounts, or documents on hard drives. What happens to your Twitter account when you pass? Do you want to give your husband access to your social media sites, blogs, and online albums? A lot of people are choosing online storage only these days. You don't want your loved ones to get locked out of your accounts and files. Using an addendum can be a lot quicker than drafting a new Will from scratch, because you can just change some parts and not others. Draft a Digital Assets Addendum to Will to communicate your wishes for your intangible, but still valuable, digital assets.

When to use a Digital Assets Addendum to Will:

  • You have a Will, but want to add details about your digital assets.
  • You want to change details about the digital assets in your Will.

Many states require only two witnesses, but the signature of a third witness provides some protection against the possibility that one of the witness' signature will be invalid for some reason. For example, a person should not be a witness if that person is a beneficiary under the Will or the Addendum. In most states, if a beneficiary's signature is counted in order to satisfy the minimum number of witnesses, then the Will or Addendum is not necessarily invalidated, but that "interested witness" may not receive a share of the estate any larger than if the Will writer had died without a will.Vermont requires three witnesses.
