Digital Assets & Legacy Clause

A digital assets and legacy clause in Ireland helps make sure your online accounts, photos, cryptocurrency and domain names are dealt with properly after death. Digital assets are often overlooked in Wills. This add-on provides a tailored digital assets clause and a guidance memorandum for your executors. A solicitor would advise on what counts as a digital asset, the limits of platform terms and how to authorise executors to access or deal with accounts.

The price shown is the full professional fee for the service as described, and any third-party or State fees are listed separately where they apply. If your matter needs more than this service covers, a solicitor would explain the options before any further work is done.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a digital assets clause cost in Ireland?

This page is a free guide — nothing on it is for sale. Solicitors set their own fees for this work and must give you a written costs estimate (a section 150 letter) before starting. Get quotes through the Law Society of Ireland’s Find a Solicitor directory.

Can executors access online accounts?

It depends on platform terms and the authority given. A clear clause helps.

Should I put passwords in my Will?

No. A Will becomes public after probate, so access information should be recorded securely elsewhere.
