Digital assets are an increasingly important — yet often misunderstood — area of private client practice. Join this online session to learn more about digital assets and cryptocurrency estate administration, and the impact of the Property (Digital Assets etc.) Act 2025. Book now to stay up to date, gain confidence and stay compliant when advising clients and administering estates in this evolving area of law.
During this event, our expert speakers will revisit the key legal and practical issues surrounding digital assets. You’ll hear an update on the Law Commission’s work and the current legal framework following the implementation of the Property (Digital Assets etc.) Act 2025. And you’ll gain practical estate planning and execution tips.
We’ll also highlight common pitfalls, including:
- failing to identify crypto assets or online accounts
- difficulties accessing digital assets after death
- risks of lost or inaccessible assets
- potential professional negligence claims
This session will reinforce your professional duties. Particularly, the importance of taking reasonable steps to identify all assets as part of thorough and effective private client practice.
