JD Woods Law PLC is spotlighting its flat-fee digital estate package (the Last Will and Testament with Digital Planning, shown as Last Will+Digital Planning on the services menu) for Florida residents whose most valuable and most personal assets now live online. The package includes a complete Florida will, durable power of attorney, healthcare surrogate designation, living will, and HIPAA release alongside its signature digital asset planning. The premise is simple: a valid will names the person in charge of your estate, but it does not, on its own, give that person the legal right to access your email, cloud storage, cryptocurrency, or business accounts.
The gap is created by federal privacy law and provider terms of service, not by any defect in the will. Under Florida's Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act (Chapter 740, Florida Statutes), a personal representative can generally request a catalog of the accounts and the other digital assets with letters of administration, but access to the content of email and messages requires the user's consent through a provider's online tool, a will or another document, or a court order. Most general and older wills contain no such consent, which can leave executors waiting on providers or a court order for email, family photos, and exchange accounts precisely when they need access most.
The companion article, 6 Digital Assets Your Florida Executor Can't Legally Access, walks through the six categories a standard will leaves exposed: email, cloud storage and photos, cryptocurrency, social and content accounts, subscriptions and financial apps, and business logins and domains. The engagement addresses all six through the statute's three-tier priority system: consent and digital-asset provisions in the will and durable power of attorney, and a digital asset inventory with executor instructions the fiduciary can actually use. The online-tool settings themselves are set by you inside each provider's account.
Service details and the intake form are at /last-will-digital-planning. It is a flat-fee engagement out of Jacksonville, Florida: no hourly billing on standard digital estate planning.
