Book excerpt: The world has gone digital and so have our clients’ estates. Digital assets may simply be electronic records, but they are the digital gateway to our lives. They are our memories, our money, and our records, making technology the new player at the estate planning table. The Digital Executor®: Unraveling the New Path for Estate Planning arms estate advisors, business owners, service providers, and the broader estate and technology industries with heightened awareness of client expectations regarding their digital estates. Everyone needs a will and in today’s age of digitization, estate plans must include your client's digital life. This book is a primer for understanding a client’s personal use case when navigating estate management in the digital age with introductions to technology and the underlying aspects and differences between digital asset classes. With technology being the new player at the client’s estate planning table, estate advisors must be educated, motivated, and prepared, adapting policies and processes for operating in the digital world. Equally, technology and service providers must align with the stars to be integrated partners in estate industry conversations. Sharon’s first book, Your Digital Undertaker: Exploring Death in the Digital Age in Canada, was about digital assets in the context of an individual’s or client’s estate planning life cycle. This follow-up book, Digital Executor®: Unraveling the New Path for Estate Planning is about digital assets in the context of the estate industry. This book draws the reader into the world of estate planning with a digital twist, bringing together how the global estate industry, technology and service providers must address client expectations about their digital assets and the implications of the changing role of the fiduciary/executor. To understand the role of digital assets in the estate industry, we must first understand technology, the client’s user context, and the changing role of the estate advisor. From an estate industry perspective, if today’s executor is a digital executor and today’s fiduciary is a digital fiduciary, then today’s advisor must be a digital advisor.

Download or read book Illinois Digital Estate Plan written by Michael E. Byczek and published by Michael E. Byczek. This book was released on 2024-05-06 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is not an honorable man among its practitioners who would not give - who does not often give - the warning, “Suffer any wrong that can be done you rather than come here!” The nightmare that probate can cause for heirs, even with a Will, was memorialized in the fictional portrayal of Bleak House by Charles Dickens in 1853 (Chapter I) where the narrator of the book advises the reader to stay away from probate proceedings. If you are single without children, what happens to your pets, money, assets, and property when you die? If you pass away without a Will, a probate judge decides who should administer your estate and may leave property distribution to people who don’t have your best interests in mind. A Will is one way to speak while you are still living with your own written instructions, such as: - Name a guardian for your pets and leave money for their care - Itemize property to be given to multiple beneficiaries - Decide what happens to your condo, house, or vehicle - Leave instructions about digital assets, such as cryptocurrency or NFTs - Make funeral arrangements Some scenarios are straightforward, such as an only child leaving behind one or both parents. They inherit everything, which is even easier if still married to each other. But what happens if you have siblings, your parents are deceased, or you have very close friends who are not legal relatives? You may think that your significant other has status, especially if you are living together or even engaged. The opposite is true. Your friends and relatives can delete the most important people in your life while ransacking your property and assets for their personal gain … or revenge. It's possible that relatives you have never met or don't even like are awarded portions of your property. People you don’t even know may make decisions that you would never approve. An important strategy is a digital estate plan, like an enhanced Will. What happens to all your social media content, online photos, movies, or music? A Will allows you to expressly name a data executor and provide this person with your login credentials to access all of your accounts in accordance with your instructions. Without a Will, a probate judge may not approve, and tech companies may not allow, your friends or family to close, or otherwise access, these accounts. Also discussed is your digital afterlife where tech companies can use artificial intelligence (AI) to bring you back to life through a virtual avatar trained with your life’s worth of photos, videos, audio, and online activity (i.e. social media). This includes a brief tutorial for artificial intelligence writing your Will without an attorney using AI chatbot platforms (ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini). Sample fill-in-the-blank documents included are: - Basic non-notarized Will that gives all property to one beneficiary - Extended non-notarized Will that itemizes specific assets to different beneficiaries - Notarized versions of both basic and extended Wills - Notarized Self-Proving Affidavit for the two witnesses to authenticate the Will - Username and Password Organizer to help family and friends access digital assets - Instructions and representative Illinois statutes that pertain to a Will The author, Michael E. Byczek, has been a licensed Illinois attorney since 2007 (Chicago, IL). He manages his own legal business (https://byczeklaw.com) and has assisted clients to prepare their estate plans and protect the rights of heirs during probate in court.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Zero Trust is the strategy that organizations need to implement to stay ahead of cyber threats, period. The industry has 30 plus years of categorical failure that shows us that our past approaches, while earnest in their efforts, have not stopped attackers. Zero Trust strategically focuses on and systematically removes the power and initiatives hackers and adversaries need to win as they circumvent security controls. This book will help you and your organization have a better understanding of what Zero Trust really is, recognize its history, and gain prescriptive knowledge that will help you and your enterprise finally begin beating the adversaries in the chess match that is cyber security strategy." Dr. Chase Cunningham (aka Dr. Zero Trust), Cyberware Expert Today’s organizations require a new security approach that effectively adapts to the challenges of the modern environment, embraces the mobile workforce, and protects people, devices, apps, and data wherever they are located. Zero Trust is increasingly becoming the critical security approach of choice for many enterprises and governments; however, security leaders often struggle with the significant shifts in strategy and architecture required to holistically implement Zero Trust. This book seeks to provide an end-to-end view of the Zero Trust approach across organizations’ digital estates that includes strategy, business imperatives, architecture, solutions, human elements, and implementation approaches that could significantly enhance these organizations' success in learning, adapting, and implementing Zero Trust. The book concludes with a discussion of the future of Zero Trust in areas such as artificial intelligence, blockchain technology, operational technology (OT), and governance, risk, and compliance. The book is ideal for business decision makers, cybersecurity leaders, security technical professionals, and organizational change agents who want to modernize their digital estate with the Zero Trust approach.

Download or read book The Digital Dilemma written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2000-02-24 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine sending a magazine article to 10 friends-making photocopies, putting them in envelopes, adding postage, and mailing them. Now consider how much easier it is to send that article to those 10 friends as an attachment to e-mail. Or to post the article on your own site on the World Wide Web. The ease of modifying or copying digitized material and the proliferation of computer networking have raised fundamental questions about copyright and patentâ€"intellectual property protections rooted in the U.S. Constitution. Hailed for quick and convenient access to a world of material, the Internet also poses serious economic issues for those who create and market that material. If people can so easily send music on the Internet for free, for example, who will pay for music? This book presents the multiple facets of digitized intellectual property, defining terms, identifying key issues, and exploring alternatives. It follows the complex threads of law, business, incentives to creators, the American tradition of access to information, the international context, and the nature of human behavior. Technology is explored for its ability to transfer content and its potential to protect intellectual property rights. The book proposes research and policy recommendations as well as principles for policymaking.
Download or read book Amazon written by Benedetta Brevini and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-26 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking a political economy of media approach, this book examines Amazon as a significant actor in the global media landscape. Amazon is mainly conceived in the popular consciousness and media commentary as a corporate body, selling products and services to individual consumers and organisations, but Brevini and Swiatek show that Amazon has become a communication giant that trades in diversified media (its own and others), and exerts a significant influence on global communication, especially through its online services. Further, the authors provide evidence of Amazon's multiple influences on politics, economics, and culture. With its comprehensive and critical overview, this book is ideal for students, scholars, and researchers of media and communication studies and political economy.

Book excerpt: Despite the range of studies into grief and mourning in relation to the digital, research to date largely focuses on the cultural practices and meanings that are played out in and through digital environments. Digital Afterlife brings together experts from diverse fields who share an interest in Digital Afterlife and the wide-ranging issues that relate to this. The book covers a variety of matters that have been neglected in other research texts, for example: The legal, ethical, and philosophical conundrums of Digital Afterlife The ways digital media are currently being used to expand the possibilities of commemorating the dead and managing the grief of those left behind Our lives are shaped by and shape the creation of our Digital Afterlife as the digital has become a taken for granted aspect of human experience. This book will be of interest to undergraduates from computing, theology, business studies, philosophy, psychology, sociology, and education from all types of institutions. Secondary audiences include researchers and postgraduate researchers with an interest in the digital. At a practical level, the cost of data storage and changing data storage systems mitigate the likelihood of our digital presence existing in perpetuity. Whether we create accidental or intentional digital memories, this has psychological consequences for ourselves and for society. Essentially, the foreverness of forever is in question.
