Welcome to Episode 153 of Building My Legacy.

In this podcast, we talk with Rilus Dana, a probate and estate attorney who founded Maat Legal Practice Management. Named for the Egyptian goddess of law and order, Maat Legal helps attorneys empower their clients with modern digital asset planning. Rilus believes that many law firms are not leveraging technology to ensure their practice fits the way people live today. He introduces us to “digital asset acts,” which have been passed in many states and which are designed to recognize the importance of addressing access to information stored electronically as part of estate planning.

Rilus takes a methodical approach to digital asset planning so that his clients’ heirs are able to access critical information they’ll need or want without encountering problems along the way. It’s a fascinating discussion about a topic many estate planners may not be familiar with and an important part of planning as you build your legacy.

So if you want to know:

  • The importance of updating estate planning for today’s digital age
  • How to figure out what digital assets you really have
  • Why just leaving a password may not work after you’re gone
  • How to evaluate the “legacy” options some social media platforms offer
  • Best tips for overall estate planning
