Family & Digital Assets
Family & Digital Assets: protection in the technological era
Today, a large part of our personal and family life is linked to the digital environment: social media, online bank accounts, cloud-stored files, subscriptions, web domains or even cryptocurrencies. This intangible estate has real value and must be managed and protected with the same rigour as physical assets.
At Carmen Varela Abogados de Familia, we assist families and individuals in organising, protecting and transferring their digital assets, both during their lifetime and in situations of modified legal capacity or succession. Our aim is to ensure that these assets are managed in accordance with your wishes, avoiding loss, disputes or unauthorised access.
The legal protection of digital assets is an emerging challenge. For this reason, we offer specialised guidance to ensure that your digital property and online identity are always protected and in safe hands.
Our approach: security, prevention and responsible management of digital assets
At Carmen Varela Abogados de Familia, we understand that the digital world is an essential part of modern family and patrimonial life. Our approach combines traditional legal rigour with an innovative perspective that addresses the challenges technology poses in matters of succession, guardianship and the administration of digital assets.
We work in a preventive and strategic manner, helping you identify your digital assets, assess their relevance and establish legal mechanisms to ensure their proper management in situations of modified legal capacity, death or family conflict.
Our aim is to provide peace of mind and control, ensuring that your digital estate —from social media accounts to crypto-asset investments— is protected and transferred in accordance with your wishes, while avoiding future risks and disputes.
