When you think of an estate plan, you likely think about wills and trusts. But, there is another document that you need to prepare for your loved ones – the letter of instruction. This isn't legally binding, but it outlines important information that can benefit your family members when you die. You can leave one for everyone to read or you can leave individual letters for specific people.
Plan for handing your digital assets to loved ones
Digital assets are sometimes very important to people. This can include everything from your massive collection of ebooks and movies to your social media accounts. You should ensure that you have a plan in place for these after you pass away. If you don't, they might become inaccessible and useless. You can't think only about things that you purchased. Also, take the time to plan for things like family pictures and other similar things.
