New Law Firm Ensures Families Keep Online Life After a Loved One Passes

May 23, 2011 - PRLog -- A very recent and often overlooked legal service offered by Otis Law Group is estate planning which includes power of attorneys, wills, trusts with great care focused on a 21st Century problem—Digital Assets.

“Have you ever thought about what will happen to your online life after you die? Today, with many people, email accounts, digital photo accounts, iTunes accounts, mobile phone applications and social media accounts have often replaced their traditional counterparts. Every estate plan must address these assets,” explains Attorney Donna L. Otis.

As digital assets are becoming more significant in our daily lives, the Otis Law Group helps people navigate all the legal restrictions associated with digital assets to ensure that the deceased loved ones will be able to access accounts that include sentimental things such as family photos and messages and critical financial info such as banks accounts, credit card companies, brokerages, and other financial institutions who often now send a monthly statements and paperless bills via email.

“The process of administering your estate or your trust upon your death involves gathering your assets, paying your creditors, and then distributing the assets to the beneficiaries. Digital assets help determine what the person owned and owed,” said Attorney Otis.

Along with estate planning, the Otis Law Group offers attorneys that will help solve legal problems related to disability law, elder law, probate and guardianship.

“Making sense of things after a disability, medical emergency or passing of a loved one can be stressful.  Planning for long-term care and for care of our children and spouse if we are disabled and when we pass can provide you with peace of mind,” said Attorney Otis concerning disability law.
