JD Woods Law PLC is spotlighting its flat-fee SnapHeirs digital estate plan for Florida residents whose most valuable and most personal assets now live online. 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 fiduciary needs either an online-tool designation set with the provider or explicit digital-asset authority written into the estate-planning documents. Most general and older wills contain neither, which leaves executors locked out of 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 SnapHeirs engagement addresses all six by working the statute's three-tier priority system: the online-tool designations, the authority language in the will, trust, and durable power of attorney, and a secure inventory the fiduciary can actually use.
Service details and the intake form are at /snap-heirs. It is a flat-fee engagement out of Jacksonville, Florida — no hourly billing on standard digital estate planning.
