The Property (Digital Assets etc) Bill has just been introduced to the House of Lords. The Bill’s purpose is to clarify the legal status of digital assets as personal property.
We are all being urged to plan what will happen to our ‘digital memories’ by the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP). These might include irreplaceable photos, videos, social media profiles and email accounts. If you don’t make arrangements before your death these could all be lost.
