Description:
Who This Template Is For: This premium 6-page template is designed for individuals, entrepreneurs, creators, and business owners who hold digital assets and want to ensure their fiduciaries can lawfully access, manage, and transfer online accounts, cryptocurrency, NFTs, and digital business property during incapacity or after death. It addresses a critical gap left by many standard powers of attorney and estate planning documents by providing explicit statutory consent required under digital asset and privacy laws. PLEASE NOTE: This authorization is intended to be used in conjunction with an existing power of attorney, trust, or will and does not independently appoint a fiduciary. What’s Included – Key Sections and Provisions: • Grant of Authority defining broad fiduciary access rights to digital assets and electronically stored information and establishing clear consent for disclosure and control. • Relationship to Other Estate Planning Documents clarifying that the authorization supplements powers of attorney, trusts, and wills without independently creating fiduciary authority. • Comprehensive Digital Assets Definitions covering online accounts, cryptocurrency, NFTs, smart contracts, business platforms, and future digital technologies to ensure broad applicability. • Scope of Digital Property Covered detailing personal, financial, business, gaming, and virtual assets to eliminate ambiguity over what fiduciaries may access. • Fiduciary Authority and Powers granting specific, clearly enumerated powers such as account access, credential recovery, smart contract interaction, asset transfer, and business continuity actions. • Cryptocurrency and NFT Provisions expressly authorizing disclosure of private keys and wallet credentials and permitting alternative custody transfers when direct disclosure is restricted. • Duties and Recordkeeping establishing fiduciary duties of care, loyalty, inventory, and accounting for digital assets. • Federal and State Law Consent provisions designed to comply with RUFADAA, ECPA, the Stored Communications Act, and related privacy and cybersecurity laws. • Duration, Revocation, and Effectiveness provisions confirming immediate effectiveness, survival of incapacity and death, and clear revocation standards. • Third Party Reliance and Liability Protections allowing custodians and platforms to rely on the authorization in good faith without risk. • Jurisdiction and Applicability language preserving nationwide usability while advising users on state-specific considerations. • Execution and Notarization section formatted for professional use and custodial acceptance. Save time and reduce risk by using a professionally drafted digital assets authorization that closes critical legal gaps in modern estate and business planning.

Hi, I'm Randy. I've been practicing law for over 30 years, with extensive experience drafting, reviewing, and revising contracts for individuals, entrepreneurs, and businesses. I spent nearly 15 years running my own law practice in Richmond, Virginia, where I represented small business owners, professionals, entrepreneurs, and clients in the entertainment industry. That experience taught me that a good contract must do more than address legal requirements. It should clearly define the parties' rights and obligations, anticipate practical problems, and protect my client's interests if the relationship does not go as planned. Contract drafting and review are major parts of my practice. Over the course of my career, I've drafted and reviewed hundreds of agreements. I also review contracts prepared by other attorneys, businesses, and individuals to identify legal issues, assess enforceability, and identify potential compliance issues under current applicable law. My experience includes: • Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements • Employment and independent contractor agreements • LLC operating agreements for single-member and multi-member LLCs • Consulting, coaching, freelancer, and professional services agreements • Residential and commercial leases • NDAs and confidentiality agreements • Entertainment industry agreements • Business formation and corporate documents • Other commercial and business contracts I also have substantial experience preparing estate planning documents, including wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and advance medical directives. I'm currently based in New York City and am licensed to practice law in Virginia. I work remotely with clients on contract projects across the country. My approach is practical and straightforward. I take the time to understand the transaction, the client's objectives, and the risks that need to be addressed. I then draft an agreement that is clear, thorough, and usable in the real world. Whether you need a new agreement drafted, an existing contract reviewed, or revisions to a document you are negotiating, I can help you identify the important issues and prepare a contract that reflects your objectives. I would be glad to discuss your project and how I can help.

Recent Review for Randy M.

"I cannot recommend Randy highly enough. From start to finish, he provided one of the most professional and thorough legal experiences I've ever had. This was my first time navigating a prenuptial agreement, and I wasn't sure what to expect. Randy exceeded every expectation. He conducted an incredibly detailed review of the agreement, carefully explaining each recommendation in plain language while supporting his findings with applicable Georgia law. His attention to detail was remarkable, and he identified issues that I never would have recognized on my own. What impressed me most was his responsiveness, clear communication, and genuine commitment to ensuring I understood every aspect of the agreement before signing. Our overall marriage license timeline was seriously delayed because my Fiancé's attorney (also from Contracts Counsel) stopped responding halfway through but Randy even caught several drafting errors from my fiancé's attorney that could have easily been overlooked. That level of diligence speaks volumes about the quality of his work. If you're looking for an attorney who is knowledgeable, meticulous, responsive, and truly advocates for his clients, Randy is an outstanding choice. I am incredibly grateful for his guidance and would not hesitate to work with him again or recommend him to family, friends, and colleagues. Thank you, Randy, for your exceptional service and for making such an important life decision much easier to navigate."
