RUFADAA lets you grant an executor:

  • Full access to an account or accounts
  • Partial access to an account, with the executor limited only to the tools and information needed to carry out whatever duties you’ve entrusted to them
  • Access to an account they should have been able to use if you were still alive

However, you have to be specific with your wishes and ensure that your will or trust takes RUFADAA’s new rules into account.

Your Digital Estate Could Be Worth Millions

RUFADAA will likely become more important as time goes on. A great many Americans possess millions of dollars in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and will want their loved ones to benefit from their hard work and smart investing once they’re gone.
